Sympodium and Smart Boards
Several pool rooms have been upgraded to include sympodium monitors and smart board software. The drop-in sessions will cover the basic functions of this teaching aid. A more in-depth introduction to this technology is available from the Media Resources Centre . Please contact Sue Crosby (crosbysm@cardiff.ac.uk) for further details.
Advice
If you have not used a pool room before, or have not used one for some time, please check with pool room support to see if anything has been upgraded and arrange for a refresher session so that you are familiar with the equipment.
We are happy to make arrangements for one of our AV technicians to meet you at a suitable time during the day to offer one to one instruction on the operation of audio visual equipment. Alternatively, we are happy to provide training to groups of staff if requested.
