Remote-focused Hardware Availability
The following hardware is available to faculty and staff. Models shown below may vary in the version number depending on when and where the equipment was procured, but functionality remains the same.
- Logitech HD 1080p Webcam/Microphone Combo. Commonly used to provide an alternate view of the classroom or better camera positioning. More flexible than a fixed laptop web cam. These come with a small desktop tripod.
- Plantronics Wired Headset. A high quality wired headset with microphone.
- Wacom Intuos Drawing Tablets. Used as an input device, like a mouse, allowing for drawing on the screen, or using the stylus as a pointing device. We've found that many requests for Document Imaging Cameras are actually requests for a way to mark-up or draw on documents. This device may be what you're looking for.
- Elmo OX1 Document Imaging Cameras. We have a small number of Doc Imaging Cameras available, given availability and cost, we prefer to install these in classrooms, but contact us if have a direct need. Many times an external web cam or Wacom tablet can meet your need without the added bulk and expense of a document imaging camera.
In addition, we encourage faculty and staff to reach out to DoTS to discuss your specific challenges. We're here to help, and if your teaching needs aren't being met we want to help you find a solution. Email DoTS at dots@uwrf.edu to start the conversation.
