For presenters who may not want to present from a lectern, we can provide wireless keyboards and mice, to allow the use of the installed PC from a preferred position.
Rather than using a traditional laser pointer with a small red or green dot, spotlight presenters can highlight an area of the screen and dim the surrounding content. This also transfers through to replay recordings, enabling viewers to see the areas that the presenter highlighted post event.
Find rooms with loops already installed on our room information pages.
Hearing loops involve taping a cable to the floor around a seating area. We suggest dedicating a couple of rows of seats, or one side of the room to this, as coverage can be affected if an area is too big. A microphone is supplied which feeds directly into the loop.
In teaching rooms considered large enough for a microphone system, a lapel microphone has already been installed. We can supply headset microphones which will replace the lapel microphone in these rooms if required. We can also supply additional microphones (headset, lapel or handheld) in some other rooms if this will assist presenters.
There are a number of options available to help make using computer and IT services more accessible; from screen readers and magnifiers, to voice recognition software.
The Library and IT Helpdesk or Disability Services (for staff and students) are on hand to offer help and advice.
Most classrooms and study areas are wheelchair accessible. You can find a list of the most wheelchair friendly rooms for PC users on the IT accessibility web page. These rooms have a raised desk to accommodate a wheelchair.
In some lecture theatres and seminar rooms the teaching lectern can be raised or lowered to the desired working height.
