Media Services Report on Summer Progress

· We completed 31 classroom technology upgrades/installations. Diverse group including sciences, human performance, general rooms in MS and EB and some specialized rooms in EB and RVAC.

· The EW/FD AV technology installations will begin November 15 (or sooner) and be completed for building open in January.

· Cable TV system upgraded over the summer to a full HD system with continuation of free over the top (OTT) services (HBO GO, MaxGO and Showtime Anytime) for our residential students. Tools residence life can use to help attract resident students to campus.

· Completed the television studio camera/teleprompter/pedestal tripod upgrades in the TV studio late spring. This equipment is now very similar to systems in place at broadcast studios and other educational institutions such as Duke, Rice, Clemson, SHU, and more.

· Continue to promote the use of Kaltura MediaSpace and its attached products; REACH for captioning and CaptureSpace for desktop screen recording with webcam feature. CaptureSpace is a ”Camtasia-like” tool available on and off campus to faculty and staff for creation of instructional material.

· Working more closely this summer with the Student Disability Office to assist with accommodations for existing and hopefully, increased student populations that may need them.
