CONTENTS Introduction Summary |
Providing Multimedia Lecture Room ServicesSummaryMultimedia technology is here to stay. New students are growing up in an increasingly computerised, multimedia world and will expect nothing less from educational establishments. Aside from the gimmicks, new technologies do offer the chance to improve the quality and flexibility of higher education. However, the implementation of such technologies will require a significant investment.New building and refurbishment of existing facilities should be done with this in mind, and computing and AV staff should be consulted at an early stage. Equipment must be chosen with care to provide both value for money and technological durability. Leasing should be considered as an alternative to purchase, providing predictable maintenance expenditure and a viable upgrade path. Finally, no amount of capital investment will be worth while without a commitment to further annual resources to provide training and support across departments.
