Teacher Communication Questions for CUI?
We've got answers!!

WHAT DO I DO IF I DON'T HAVE A CAMCORDER?
Check out an 8mm camcorder from the TRC (Teaching Resource Center) in the Ferguson Building.

FROM WHAT MEDIUM CAN THE SPEAKING CENTER PLAYBACK MY RECORDING?

1. DVD-R
2. VHS
3. VHS C (we have VHS converters)
4. Camcorder - If your camcorder can attach to the red, yellow, and white plugs on a VCR/DVD player or TV we can play it back but not without your cord. Bring your camcorder and cord to plug it into our system. If you know how to operate your camcorder in playback mode we can watch it together.
   
   If you recorded with a digital camcorder you'll need to burn the recording onto a DVD-R and bring the DVD-R in for viewing.
5. Removable Storage - Memory Stick Standard, SD Memory Card, Mini SD Card, MultiMedia Card, RS-MMC, Compact Flash I/II, Microdrive, SmartMedia, & xD-Picture Card

WHAT DO I DO IF MY RECORDING IS ON AN 8MM TAPE AND I DON'T HAVE THE CAMCORDER AND CORD TO BRING TO THE SPEAKING CENTER?
Go to the TRC (second floor Ferguson Building) with your 8mm recording AND a BLANK VHS tape or DVD-R to transfer it onto VHS or DVD-R. This needs to be done BEFORE you go to the Speaking Center for your appointment. The total time of the recording is how long it will take for you to transfer it.
Transfer Tip - if you only need for us to view 10 minutes you can transfer just ten minutes worth of the total recording.

HOW CAN I ENSURE THAT THE SOUND IS CAPTURED ON MY RECORDING?
Place the camera half way between the front and back of the classroom (closer is needed when recording onto SD Memory Card).

WHAT HAPPENS IF THE CAMCORDER/CAMERA DOES NOT CAPTURE THE AUDIO SO IT IS LOUD ENOUGH FOR PLAYBACK AT THE SPEAKING CENTER?
You'll have to rerecord and make a second appointment.
