Did you know that the lamps in classroom video projectors have a finite life span and that they cost between $99 and $400 (depending on the projector model) to replace?
Did you know that when “standby” or “A/V Mute” is selected, the projector lamp is still being used?
Please help the college get the best value from its lamps by shutting down the projectors in classrooms at the end of each class.
Need information on how to shut down a projector in a particular room or on how to use the document camera, play a DVD or hook up your laptop to the projector?
Log on to the my.canisius.edu portal, click on Campus Services in the Launchpad to open its drop-down menu and click on “What is in My Classroom?”. You can use the “Select Classroom” option to find valuable information on how to operate the technology in each classroom on campus.
Need a demonstration of a particular feature of a room? Contact the Media Center by Emailing Erik Michaelsen (michaele@canisius.edu), Nathan Johnson (johnsonn@canisius.edu), or Dan Drew (drewd@canisius.edu), and within a few days we will post a link on our portal page to a video showing how to use the feature of the room that you are interested in.
