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.

Classrooms

1. Find out if your classroom is equipped with technology
   • Check the Classroom Information page to find out whether your classroom is equipped with the technology you need, if you need a key to access it and how to use it.
2. If your classroom has installed technology that requires a key
   
   • Visit the Key Information page for information about obtaining a key.
3. If your classroom does not have the installed technology you need
   • Use ETS’ online reservation system, av.berkeley.edu, to reserve portable equipment.
