I got caught using a little hyperbole this week when I stated that “we are seeing exponential growth” in the number of lecture capture views.  Perhaps I should just say “significant, consistent growth.”  The following chart shows the number of views over the last ten semesters (Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer.)

SoMAS was given a new classroom space this winter.  We took advantage of the rehab of the room to install a new, walk up media system.  Rich T. took lead on this project.  The computer, monitor and keyboard are inside the wall station shown on the right.  The keyboard and monitor can be accessed via the tambour door. All the rest of the electronics are secured in the upper section.  Keeps a clean look when closed.

It’s another snowy day at Stony Brook – chance to catch up on paperwork.  Rich T and Mike are finishing the install of new walk up media stations in Staller 2310 and 2318.  The media station is the new standard for “walkup systems.”  This room is a little different since we used a wall mounted, short throw projector.  We also beefed up the sound system to accommodate Music classes held in the room.
