A few classrooms in Van Vleck have projectors: check https://av.fpm.wisc.edu for a list. In order to use these podiums/projectors, you'll need an AV code. Here's how to get one. https://av.fpm.wisc.edu/av-passcodes-keys/

911 and 901 have projectors for seminars.

307 and 903 have TV carts for smaller seminars or meetings, and you can connect a laptop to them.

We have 3 Obsbot cameras. Obsbot cameras have an AI which can lock onto a speaker and follow them around the room. The audio isn't fantastic, but it will certainly record small seminar chalk talks and can be used in conjunction with Zoom.

We have 2 Meeting Owls. A Meeting owl allows a 360 recording environment that is ideal for interfacing or recording a large group of people in a small room. However, in larger rooms, the audio may not be ideal.

If you want assistance on streaming or recording events in larger spaces, please consult with the IT Staff.

There's some equipment available if you are in a room without equipment and you need temporary equipment.

projector: If you need a projector for a room that does not have one, please either go to the AMP library and check one out or see Sara Nagreen. Note that these are for short-term loans only.

document camera: We do have a portable document camera available upon request.

laptops. There are laptops available from the Infolabs or the AMP Library on campus for short-term checkout. If you have a longer-term need, please see Sara Nagreen.

tablets. We have a limited stock of tablets and iPads from the pandemic which can be provided on a long-term basis as needed. Please see Sara Nagreen for details.

-== AUDIO-VISUAL EQUIPMENT ==
+and 901 have projectors for seminars.
-The department has the following equipment available to use for teaching and other presentations:
+and 903 have TV carts for smaller seminars or meetings, and you can connect a laptop to them.
-* '''Computer LCD Projector''':  The department has compact, light weight projectors that can be connected to the video output of almost any notebook computer.  It can be signed out from the Math Library.  You will need your student or staff ID.  If you are going to use this, it would be a wise idea to try it in advance, both to make sure it works properly with your computer (very likely) and to see how you will have to rearrange the furniture in your classroom (also very likely!).
+We have 3 Obsbot cameras.  Obsbot cameras have an AI which can lock onto a speaker and follow them around the room.  The audio isn't fantastic, but it will certainly record small seminar chalk talks and can be used in conjunction with Zoom.
-* '''Digital Camera''':  A digital camera is available for departmental use.  Send e-mail to ynagel@math.wisc.edu if you want to use it.
+We have 2 Meeting Owls.  A Meeting owl allows a 360 recording environment that is ideal for interfacing or recording a large group of people in a small room.  However, in larger rooms, the audio may not be ideal.
-* '''Electronic Lecture Halls''':  Rooms B102, B130.  The rooms have conventional chalkboards but everything else is controlled through a touch panel on the stage.  The screens are arranged so that you can project images, e.g. computer output, that your students can see at the same time that they see you and your writing on the chalkboards. You can control basic lighting, and use the chalkboards, with little special knowledge.  (The Receptionist has a one-page write-up on how to do this.)  If you wish to do anything more (including using the microphone) you should attend the introductory session that you will be invited to if you are scheduled to teach in this room.  You will need a passcode and a key to use the audio/visual system.  The equipment includes a projector mounted to the ceiling that can project computer output, video tapes, DVDs, and the output from the document camera.  The document camera can be used with traditional transparencies as well as printed or hand-written material on paper, or sections from books or journals.  To get a key and passcode, please contact classroom media Support (Derek Dombrowski) at 265-9697 or ddombrowski@fpm.wisc.edu.
+If you want assistance on streaming or recording events in larger spaces, please consult with the IT Staff.
-'''NOTE''':  The equipment does not include a computer:  If you wish to use a computer in this room you are expected to bring in a notebook computer and connect it to the equipment in the console.
+There's some equipment available if you are in a room without equipment and you need temporary equipment.
-Rooms B223 and B231 are equipped similarly to B102 and B130, except that they do not have microphones.  There are tutorial sessions and Derek is the resource.
+* projector:  If you need a projector for a room that does not have one, please either go to the AMP library and check one out or see Sara Nagreen.  Note that these are for short-term loans only.
-* '''High-tech Rooms''':  Classrooms B102, B130, B223, and B231 have additional special equipment.
+* document camera:  We do have a portable document camera available upon request.
-You will need both a key and passcode to use this equipment.  High-tech rooms also can project videotapes & DVDs using built-in equipment.  Also see www.wisc.edu/support for more information specific to these classrooms.  If you have any questions, contact Derek.
-* '''Microphones and PA Systems''':  The large lecture halls (B102 and B130) have amplifiers and microphones to assist you in being heard by the several hundred students who may be in classes in these rooms.  In each case the microphone is kept in the locked equipment cabinet on the stage of the lecture room.   See the section on high-tech rooms.
+* laptops.  There are laptops available from the Infolabs or the AMP Library on campus for short-term checkout.  If you have a longer-term need, please see Sara Nagreen.
-* '''Other Equipment''':  Videotaping equipment, audio tape/ CD players, and other items are available from a couple of campus resources:  The LSS (Learning Support Services) office of the College of Letters and Science (http://lss.wisc.edu/) and DoIT (Division of Information Technology) (http://www.doit.wisc.edu/).  Many items from LSS are free, most from DoIT have to be paid for.  See DoIT’s website to arrange this.
+* tablets.   We have a limited stock of tablets and iPads from the pandemic which can be provided on a long-term basis as needed.  Please see Sara Nagreen for details.
-* '''Overhead Projectors''':  Several portable overhead projectors are available from the Receptionist.  (The overhead projectors are the old-fasioned kind, not computer projectors.)  Please reserve projectors in a timely fashion rather than assuming one will be available at the last minute.
-There is also a portable overhead projector in the storage closet (room 905) on the 9th floor which is convenient for use in the seminar rooms.  The small lecture hall B239 has a permanently installed overhead projector.
-* Lecture halls B102, B130 and classrooms B223, B231 have electronic equipment which includes a “document camera” that replaces an overhead projector.  The document camera can project from traditional transparencies or from written or printed material on non-transparent media.  See the section on high-tech rooms.  Equipment in the 4 rooms listed above is maintained by the University.  Contact the Classroom Media Support Specialist, Derek Dombrowski:  ddombrowski@fpm.wisc.edu or tel: 5-9697 for service.
-* '''Slide Projector''':  A Kodak Carousel projector for mounted 35mm slides is available in room B128.  The sign-out sheet is in room 213.
-* '''B107''': A High-Tech Classroom is maintained by the Math Dept
