For
a successful Iowa Communications Network experience
Microphone
Press the
bar on the microphone when you start speaking and release
it when you finish. You need to be 12" to 18" from the microphone
and talk normally.
Camera
position
Sit in
the center of the front two rows so people at other sites
can see you. You may use the overhead and teacher camera.
Use the computer touchscreen at the front of the classroom
to select different video equipment. Your instructor or a
technical support person can talk you through the process.
Sound
If the
volume level seems too high or low, adjust the volume knob
found under the left side of the podium. A level around "5"
is usually acceptable.
Telephone/fax
Most ICN
classrooms have a phone and fax, often located in the front
of the room. Dialing the three digits that corresponds to
another ICN site will call that site. If no one answers after
several rings, the fax tone may sound. If you are sending
a fax from one ICN room to another, the system automatically
signals the fax machine and the phone will not ring in the
other ICN room. The phone and fax numbers are the same.
Some
rooms have an ICN site directory near the fax machine. If
no directory is available, visit the
ICN Web site or call (515) 242-3182.
Weather
cancellations
If
Iowa State classes are canceled due to severe weather, all
ICN classes are also canceled. Even if Iowa State is open,
the host institution where you go for ICN classes may be closed.
Notify your instructor or ISU Continuing Education to receive
a videotape of the class session. Call (800) 262-0015 or e-mail
dlcourses@iastate.edu
Listen
to your local radio station before traveling to sites when
weather conditions are questionable.
Videotapes
If
you miss an ICN class due to weather cancellation or technical
problems at your site, a videotape of the class session will
be provided free. Notify your instructor or ISU Continuing
Education. Personal copies of ICN sessions for other than
weather or technical problems must be approved by your instructor
and will be billed to your credit card. The charge is $7.50/hour
plus handling, price subject to change.
Assistance
During
a session, call Iowa Public Television, (515) 242-3182, from
the ICN room and the staff will try to assist you. If you
have any questions, call Continuing Education, (800) 262-0015.
ADA
accommodations will be provided upon request.
