Learning Technology Quickstart for Faculty

The primary mission of Educational Technology Services (ETS) is to support faculty and other instructors in integrating technology into their teaching. Most services in support of courses are free of charge.

Learning Spaces

Find out if your classroom is equipped with technology

• Use ETS’ online “Room Info” guide to determine whether your classroom is equipped with the technology you need.

If the “Room Info” guide indicates that your classroom has installed technology

• Check to see if you need a key, indicated by a . If so, fill out the av.berkeley.edu reservation request.

If the “Room Info” guide indicates that your classroom does not have the installed technology you need

• Use ETS’ online reservation system, av.berkeley.edu, to reserve projectors, DVD players, VCRs, laptop computers and more.
