| Multimedia Carts
Kellogg Community College has
numerous multimedia carts that enable faculty to wheel technology into
the classroom. Faculty wanting to use the carts should make
arrangements with the appropriate contact person to reserve the cart. Faculty are responsible for
locating,
setting up, and returning the carts.
Faculty needing help with using the carts should contact a member of the
Learning Technologies
group (x2378) or ask
fellow faculty who have used them.
It is also strongly encouraged that faculty take the time to conduct a
"trial run". Well before your presentation, take the time to locate the cart, become familiar
with the provided software, peripherals, and if necessary, log onto the network
and Internet.
