Classroom Technology

 

The William & Gayle Cook Music Library Computer Manager (Adam Wead) provides support for the technology installed in JSoM classrooms and assists faculty wishing to integrate technology into their courses.

Currently there are eight classrooms enhanced with computer technology. They are:

  • Sweeney Lecture Hall (M015), which seats 196 . From a central control console, the instructor can access Windows and Macintosh computers, audio sources (cd, cassette, and lp players), video sources (video disc and vhs players), and campus cable tv. The console also contains a document camera, which can be used to project document images. A projection booth in the rear of the hall includes a slide projector. Output from video devices (including computers) can be directed to any or all of three ceiling-mounted projectors. variations recordings can be played through both computers.
  • M242, which seats 55, is equipped similarly to Sweeney Hall, although there is only one ceiling projector. Analog audio equipment is also available.
  • M340 and M344 are equipped with a computer, installed projector, audio sources (cd, lp player) and video sources (DVD, VHS).

Support for these two rooms is provided by Classroom Technology Services. See their contact information at: www.indiana.edu/~cts.

  • M267 is equipped with a computer connected to a 60 inch”Smartboard”. In addition to serving as the projection screen for the computer and video sources, it also is an interactive whiteboard capable of saving notes handwritten upon it. M267 also contains a full complement of traditional audio equipment.
  • M263 and M271 are equipped with computers for accessing variations sound files and traditional audio equipment. [Video projection is scheduled to be installed in summer 2007]
  • M373, the third-floor computer classroom/cluster (maintained by UITS) can be reserved by faculty teaching computing-related courses. The classroom includes 30 Macintosh computers, each with 17" monitors and Kurzweil MIDI keyboards. A teaching station with both a Macintosh and a pc is connected to a ceiling-mounted projector. For an up-to-date list of software available at this site, and for information on reserving this facility, see the Student Technology Centers Web page at: stcweb.uits.indiana.edu/.

UITS maintains a distributed Student Technology Center (STC) on the 1st and 3rd floors of the Music Library. Many of these computers are equipped with midi keyboards; students can access variations and several music software applications, including Finale, Sibelius, Digital Performer, Csound, ETDrill, and Practica Musica.

Stephanie Gott (recsched@indiana.edu) handles all of the room scheduling in the Jacobs School of Music except for the Faculty Development Lab in M371. The Faculty Development Lab can be scheduled through MITS (mustech@indiana.edu).
