EGARC Equipment
Laptops
EGARC has seven Windows-based laptop computers available for instructor checkout. All are come equipped with the Microsoft Office 2007 suite (including PowerPoint) and are configured to take advantage of the campus wireless network.
Multimedia Carts
EGARC has three mobile carts equipped with a laptop, a multistandard VCR/DVD player and an LCD projector. These carts, which are only available for use in Wescoe, are perfect for presentations and showing videos in classrooms without media equipment.
TV / VCR / DVD Cart
EGARC has a TV cart with a multistandard VCR and DVD player intended for use in the few non-mediated classrooms on fourth floor Wescoe. Due to the difficulty of navigating it through crowded hallways, this cart will be checked out only when no other option exists.
iPods
EGARC provides access to 15 iPods with attachable microphones that are perfect for recording oral tests in language classes or for conducting interviews at remote locations. All files are stored digitally on the iPod and can be exported into almost any format.
Digital Cameras
To facilitate the use of multimedia materials, EGARC provides two digital cameras and four miniDV camcorders for checkout. Instructors are invited to edit video and digital images in our faculty work area, where we have workstations with all of the needed software.
Mobile Visual Presenter
EGARC has a digital visual presenter, which can be used in the multimedia rooms in Wescoe or in combination with our multimedia carts described above, to show overhead transparencies, three-dimensional objects, and images and text from books and slides.
Audio Cassette/CD Players
The Center has a limited number of portable cassette and CD players available on a first-come, first-served basis. With special permission, these players may be checked out for extended periods.
PowerPoint Presenters
Designed specifically for PowerPoint presentations, these presenters allow you to control any computer from up to 25 feet away, freeing you up to stand anywhere you wish in the classroom when making a presentation.
Video Conferencing Equipment
Our IP videoconferencing unit can be used anywhere on campus for long-distance collaboration with faculty and/or students at other universities. The unit requires an ethernet connction and must be used in conjunction with a TV or an LCD projector.
Computer and A/V Adapters
EGARC maintains a variety of adapters and cables for checkout, including audio splitters, dongles to connect Mac laptops to LCD projectors on campus, and miniAV to RCA cables to connect your videocamera or iPod to a television.
Legacy A/V Equipment
In order to ensure access to older materials, EGARC has audio equipment to play reel-to-reel, LP records, cassettes, minicassettes, and digital audio tape formats, as well as video equipment to play VHS and U-matic formats.
Other Legacy Equipment
In addition to legacy audio/video equipment, EGARC can provide access to a typewriter, a pedal-operated cassette tape transcription machine, floppy drives, Zip drives, and a variety of other equipment.
