Services available in Teaching Rooms

Network access

Active network points are available in many centrally allocated teaching rooms, and more are added as requested via Estates' Room Bookings Office. In the Main Building, access to the wired network requires ITS username and password, and the method of access is very similar to using the wireless service, which also covers most of the building and all of the teaching areas . Visitors may request a temporary username and password via Room Bookings.

ITS have a number of laptops available for short term loan to staff, and any equipment being used should be configured to automatically pick up network configuration information via DHCP.

List of live network points word format for buildings which do not use the access control system is available (username and password required).

Fixed equipment

  • Fixed PCs are installed in the lectern in rooms 1, B02 and B04, Gordon Square.
  • Fixed PCs are available in all teaching rooms in Clore Management Centre.
  • In the Main Building, fixed PCs are installed in the basement rooms B18, B33, B34, B35, B36; First floor extenstion rooms 152 and 153;  lecture rooms 432 and 536.
  • A fixed PC is also available in room B29, Senate House.

ITS username and password is required for access, though visitors may obtain a temporary username/password from Room Bookings.

Documentation on using the PCs

The Apreso lecture capturing system

The Apreso system is available in room 101 Clore Management Centre. This allows a scheduled lecture to be captured, including any content displayed through the data projector, and made available via a streaming server on the Web. Please contact the Systems Team for a demonstration.

Support of the equipment

The AV equipment in the lecterns is supported by the AV unit. ITS will assist with use of the PCs, but cannot always respond to requests made at short notice and staff are expected to familiarise themselves with the equipment, and to ensure their applications/presentations work in advance of the class.
