Teaching rooms
Information about facilities available in teaching rooms including:
Teaching room facilities
The Teaching Room Support Group provides a call out service for University staff requiring urgent help operating audio visual (AV) facilities in centrally timetabled rooms. Staff are located across the University so that they can respond quickly and minimise disruption to the teaching timetable.
Arrangements for the demonstration of AV facilities can also be made.
Standard equipment
Many centrally timetabled rooms are equipped with AV systems which include:
-
a PC
-
VCR/DVD player
-
interactive whiteboard
-
presentation audio system
-
connections for a laptop and auxiliary video devices
A full list of the facilities and equipment in each room is available from the Timetabling office.
Additional equipment
If the room does not have the required facilities, portable equipment including digital audio recording kits, and audience response systems is available on request.
-
requests are made with the equipment booking form
-
confirmation of your booking will be sent via email within one working day
-
there is a limited supply of kits so booking requests are dealt with on a strictly first come first served basis
* Please note that one full day's notice is required for all booking requests.
Recording: Interactive Teaching Rooms (ITRs) and other recording locations
Interactive Teaching Rooms (indicated by (ITR) in the list below) are classrooms that offer lecture capture and video conferencing.
Other locations offer lecture capture only, selected via the AV control panel on the lectern (indicated by (CP) in the list). You can record in some other centrally bookable rooms via a software option, and there is now the option to make recordings from your own desktop computer or laptop [Follow these Instructions]. Recordings can be automatically linked to Moodle [Instructions].
Please email ui-lecture-capture@exmail.nottingham.ac.uk if you have any queries about lecture capture.
Lecture capture
Lecture capture records presentations, audio and video of the presenter, simultaneously. These lectures can then be published online so that students can study the lecture again, bookmarking particular points or filling in missing notes at their convenience, making it an ideal revision tool. Students can discuss specific points in the lecture online with one another and the lecturer can see 'at a glance' the most played and most discussed parts of any recording.
Instructions are available for each location.
Video conferencing
Video conferencing allows simultaneous teaching to local and remote audiences. With many schools teaching the same lecture and seminars to students in Ningbo and Malaysia, the ability to teach them simultaneously encourages student interaction and cuts down on the need for expensive and time consuming travel.
Teaching room support can provide technical support throughout a video conferencing call in an Interactive teaching room if required.

How to use the recording service
The room and the facilities must be booked separately.
Please note: the three day notice period allows time to arrange test calls with the destination, particularly with time differences to the UK and allows us to resolve any problems that may arise.
Video Conferencing
Video conferencing suites enable you to communicate with similar, dedicated video conference systems including those at the Ningbo and Malaysian campuses.
Teaching room support can provide technical support throughout a video conferencing call, if required. For bookings between 9am-5pm Monday to Friday this service is free, but outside of these hours there is a charge for technical support.
Support
For support, or to arrange a system demonstration, please refer to the relevant Teaching room support group for the location of your booked room.
Support for conferences is arranged in conjunction with the University’s conference office.
