To ensure a classroom is ready for teaching for the term, ITS checks a number of different aspects of the electronics in the room. Room checks are done before term starts (by staff and break student staff) and are planned for once a week during term (by student staff). If issues are found, they are addressed as quickly as possible. The process includes checks of the following:

  • Instructor Stations
    • Mac OS Boots
    • Mac Displays to Projector
    • Mac Audio via Speakers
    • Mac External Disk Drive plays
    • Windows OS Boots
    • Windows Displays to Projector
    • Windows Audio via Speakers
    • Windows External Disk Drive plays
  • Blu Ray/DVD & Doc Cameras
    • Device Displays to Projector
    • Device Touchscreen Controls (if applicable)
  • HDMI & mDP (Laptop Connections)
    • HDMI laptop cable has a Liberty Ring w/Adapters (Mini-display, Lightning, USB-C)
    • Source Displays to Projector
    • Audio via Speakers
    • Ethernet Cable connects to Carleton network (pulls a 137.22.x.x address)
    • NOTE:
      • Most rooms with a Liberty Ring do NOT have an mDP cable
      • Some rooms still have a 1/8" audio jack that is needed for audio
