The Office of Instructional Technologies provides assistance to individuals interested in utilizing instructional technologies to enhance the teaching/learning process. The list below provides a description of the services that the Instructional Technologies offer. 

• Equipment
• Video/Film
• Production
• Distance Learning

Equipment
For information to reserve equipment for use, refer to the Equipment Scheduling
OIT offers multimedia audio/visual equipment for loan on a reservation   basis. It is strongly recommended that reservations be made at least 24 hours prior to use.

In the event of equipment failure during work hours, contact the OIT Public Service Counter at extension 3256, every effort will be made to secure a replacement.

The university community is encouraged not to move equipment on their own.    Given the finite numbers of equipment that can be circulated, OIT tracks time and location of use. The equipment is expected by the staff to be in that last known location, often to be moved to another for the next scheduled reservation.

Equipment that has been checked out from OIT and designated QUARTER LOAN (easily identified with a YELLOW TAG), should not be removed from the designated room. Doing so results in confusion for the faculty and staff who rely on the equipment to be there.

Video/Film
Centralized Film/Video booking and rental acquisition service.
To inquire about film/video rental call:
On Campus Extension 3318 or 3319
Off Campus (740) 351-3318 or (740) 351-3319
E-mail: mediaservices@shawnee.edu

OIT has a centralized account to rent films/videos for instruction. This service is available to all faculty and staff of the university engaged in teaching. The primary purpose of this service is to provide a single point of contact for billing, receiving and shipping.

Film distributors are now the main source for rental media. It is important to remember the following:    

     Requests for audio-visual software rentals from sources outside the University require a minimum of seven (7) working days prior to the requested use date.

     Rented audio-visual material becomes the total responsibility of the requesting faculty or staff member once it leaves OIT.

It is important to return the rentals in a timely manner. Late charges are assessed just as they are at your local video store.
