Standardize / procure Camera Equipment

schmittaf 10 years ago updated by Margaret Fako 10 years ago 2
May need more cameras or at least to have them refreshed. Some of them are already four years old.
Another opportunity for a relationship with a company such as Canon.
Ability to check out equipment from the department.
Cameras, etc.
With a procedure for liability.
Perhaps consider storing these in the library.
Also not opposed to having students bring their own equipment.
May need to have cameras that are check-out-able for the entire semester.
Developing a departmental camera standard would be helpful from the perspective of lenses, accessories, etc.

The Math-Science Greenhouse

Another grand scale idea from Math-Science was to build a greenhouse. As with the observatory, perhaps some virtual methods of learning, or a small scale greenhouse could be used here.

Improve Certificate Creation and Printing

schmittaf 10 years ago updated by Margaret Fako 10 years ago 3
Need to improve the mechanism / tools we use to generate certificates or other formal publications as they seem to be error-prone.

old IT adage думif you store data in more than one place, it will be wrong in one of themдуќ

And protocols for how we pull or interact with this data -- and who is responsible for doing it.

Technology Accessibility and Refresh

schmittaf 10 years ago updated 10 years ago 0
Laptops.
Cameras.
Sound recording.
Software: Final Draft, Final Cut.
24x7 access to their tools.
Ideally have a three year refresh cycle with cameras and equipment.

Can we adopt a consignment model with a partner to get access to modern equipment for a reasonable / no cost that is then sold after the year / period of access?
Who could we partner with to make this happen? Canon, etc.

Current cameras are old enough now that they are a little fragile and not particularly appealing to current / incoming students.
Only have two now.
Would like to provide the quality equipment they need in order to ensure everyone has access to the tools they need.

Ecological Approaches to Waste Processing

schmittaf 10 years ago updated 10 years ago 0
Math-Science would like to see more ecological approaches to waste processing across campus.

The Oberlin Project: http://oberlinproject.org/

Need the analytics so that we can judge the potential value of these sorts of projects.

Wind turbine, etc.
