Greenlands: Classroom Technology Sessions

The DTS (Digital Technology Services) Audio-Visual team are offering staff sessions in the new year to demonstrate how to use various classroom technologies.

These sessions are aimed at new teaching staff plus existing staff who want to have refresh or closer look at how the AV classroom technology (i.e., microphones, cameras, screens) works. 

When and where:  

Note these start at 11.30. Please note due to space constraints we need to know numbers in advance; use this form to register your interest. There are 20 spaces available per session.

What will I learn? 

The rooms chosen are typical teaching classrooms with standard equipment. Technicians will be on hand to demonstrate and show you how to: 

• Switch on equipment 
• Perform basic operations, e.g., using multiples screens, how to end a session 
• Use the document camera 
• Use Microsoft Whiteboard 
• Check microphone and sounds levels for Yuja Learning Capture (there are separate Yuja software sessions held by TEL, book through UoR Learn) 
• Use Teams as part of a session, e.g., calling or conferencing 
• How to get help if something goes wrong with the equipment in a session 

You will also be given the opportunity to try things out for yourself. Come along to a session and find out something new! 

The Greenlands sessions will demonstrate Zoom and Blackboard Collaborate Ultra in place of Yuja.
