• For Immediate Assistance for Technology Issues in the Classroom, call the CIT HelpDesk at 585-245-5588. State that you have a classroom emergency that needs immediate attention. Be prepared with the building and room #, the faculty name, and a brief description of the issue

• To report an issue after class, where no immediate response is necessary, submit a request to the CIT helpdesk.  

• CIT can assist with many other needs in the classroom, including student seating and instructor furniture. Since these issues are not typically an emergency, it is best to submit a request to the CIT helpdesk.

Wireless Microphones - Newton

The following Lecture Halls have dedicated wireless microphone systems installed, with the belt-pack microphone available for pick up from the A/V desk in Newton 121:

• Newton 201

• Newton 202

• Newton 203

• Newton 204

• Newton 214

Each setup includes an audio-to-USB microphone interface. This allows the wireless microphone audio to be fed into a laptop or the dedicated PC in the classroom.  Faculty will need to select “Focusrite Scarlet Solo” as the “Microphone” input in Zoom audio settings for that audio to be part of a hybrid class using Zoom. The students connecting remotely will get clearer audio from the presenter, and Zoom sessions can be recorded to the local computer as well.

Sign-out equipment will be sanitized routinely, and disposable mic covers are available.
