Welcome to our Assisted Recording Rooms in Palmer
Tuesday, 30 June 2020
Supporting our delivery of Teaching and Learning online we have created Assisted Recording Rooms (ARR) in the Palmer building. These rooms are for recording teaching material as required and are available until 11 September 2020.
These rooms have been set-up as the result of a great deal of work going into researching, identifying and providing facilities to help our academic staff deliver content for the autumn term, whether that is done remotely or in-person.
They represent an enormous amount of cross-team working within Digital Technology Services, and cross-functional working with other services including Campus Services and CQSD-TEL. In particular, we are very grateful for the efforts of building officers, cleaners and porters in helping us to ensure the rooms are clean and safe for you to use.
A simple booking system has been put in place – just complete the Assisted Recording Room Booking Form and your request will be processed.
When you arrive in Palmer you will be greeted at the Welcome Desk by our ARR Administrators who will take you through the Health & Safety procedures to ensure your well-being while using the facilities. You will have access to your own room with recording facilities and guides to show you how to use the available equipment. Some of you may not have used a Document Camera before – you may be surprised to see what can be achieved with this.
Throughout your session our AV Support Technicians (pictured) will be available to assist with any problems you may have in using the equipment and recording your content. For more information on using the rooms see the Assisted Recording Rooms webpage.
When you have finished your session – and followed simple instructions for cleaning the equipment ready for the next customer – we would welcome your feedback on your experience and will ask you to complete a short form. In this way we can try to ensure that you have the facilities you need to prepare teaching content for the autumn term.
Whether you have already prepared your teaching content, or would just like to try out the rooms, we invite you to make a booking.
