Important T.A.P. Notice
The ITS department has learned from our vendors that the VCR/DVD combo units that are included on our TAP carts are no longer available. Therefore, during the Summer 2011 equipment refresh process, all campus TAP carts will be fitted with conventional DVD players. Instructors are encouraged to replace VHS course materials to a digital format that TAP carts can accommodate. The Media staff in the Grace Hauenstein Library can assist in this process.
Please note, however, that copyright issues may prevent the transfer of some VHS media to a digital format.
 
What is T.A.P?
T.A.P. (Technology, Access and Presentation) is new technology that equips instructors with new capabilities to use standard network applications to project their class material, use DVD technology, and have direct/remote communication with the ITS department.

Training for Classroom Technology

Because the operation of the new equipment may be very different from the equipment you have used previously, ITS will be offering training sessions for the new classroom technology. Please call ITS (632-2050) or Media (632-2131) to schedule training. This training is strongly suggested before using the new technology. As an alternative, a training session can be scheduled during an academic department meeting.  To take advantage of this option, department chairpersons can contact the Help Desk at 632-2050 or e-mail techhelp@aquinas.edu with the department meeting date and time. 

 

T.A.P. is a Sustainable Business initiative to encourage faculty to reduce reliance on paper and to provide access to resources, i.e. CourseConnect and fewer handouts.
