Classroom Technology

Wireless Microphones - Newton

The following Lecture Halls previously have dedicated wireless microphone systems installed, with the belt-pack microphone available for sign out from the A/V desk in Newton 121:

  • Newton 201
  • Newton 202
  • Newton 203
  • Newton 204
  • Newton 214

Each setup includes an audio to USB microphone interface. This allows the wireless microphone audio to be fed into a laptop or the dedicated PC in the classroom.  Faculty will need to select “Focusrite Scarlet Solo” as the “Microphone” input in Zoom audio settings for that audio to be part of a hybrid class using Zoom. The students connecting remotely will get clearer audio from the presenter, and Zoom sessions can be recorded to the local computer as well.

Sign-out equipment will be sanitized routinely, and all wireless microphone transmitters will get a disposable cover that will be discarded after each use. Keyboards and touch screen panels will be sanitized routinely as well.

  • South Hall 338
  • South Hall 340
  • Welles Hall 24
  • Welles Hall 26
  • Welles Hall 121

These rooms also have disposable microphone covers available, and will be sanitized as frequently as possible. Microphone to USB audio interfaces are included to facilitate better audio for hybrid Zoom classes.

Web cams and ceiling microphones facilitate hybrid and HyFlex class delivery in the following rooms:

  • Newton 202

Personal Voice Amplification

The Giecy Voice Amplifier is portable, rechargeable, and comes with its own headset microphone.  The headset is wired, but the amplified speaker can be clipped on a belt. It's also relatively inexpensive.

  • To reserve a room contact Campus Scheduling & Special Events at 585-245-5500.
  • For Immediate Assistance for Technology Issues in the Classroom, call the CIT HelpDesk 585-245-5588. State that you have a classroom emergency that needs immediate attention. Be prepared with building and room #, faculty name, and a brief description of the issue.
  • To Report an issue after class, where no immediate response is necessary, submit a request to the CIT helpdesk.  
  • CIT is able to assist with many other needs in the classroom, including student seating and instructor furniture. Since these issues are not typically an emergency, it is best to submit a request to the CIT helpdesk.

Computer Labs

Computers for student use can be found in nearly every academic building. Select computer labs may also be reserved for presentations or a class that requires the use of technology. To reserve a computer classroom, contact Campus Scheduling & Special Events at 585-245-5500.

Information about the number of seats in and software available in computer labs can be viewed on our Computer Labs and Lab Software Information pages.

Geneseo also has a Virtual Computer Lab available. For information visit our Using Geneseo Virtual Computer Labs self-help document.

For questions about using Geneseo computer labs or other computer related problems, ask CIT. Call 585-245-5588, Chat, or submit a request and we'll be happy to assist you.
