Open House for newly-named
@Centre for Educational Technology

purred by the reorganization that

changed them from the

Instructional Media Services to the
Centre for Educational Technology (CET),
the newly minted CET is holding an Open
House for faculty and staff on Wednesday,
February 28 from 10am to 2pm.

The Open House - the department’s
first ever - is intended to show faculty and
staff the capabilities of the CET and the
services it offers. Attendees will be given a
map of the CET offices and invited to
wander through at their leisure. In the
works are presentation software demos,
while the sound, photo, and television
studios will be open for exploration. Two
rooms will be set up to demonstrate the
College’s long-distance video conferencing
technology. As a convenience to those who
attend, the ID system will be up and
running to create current ID cards for
whomever needs them.

In general, the CET is responsible for
creating educational materials and
providing educational support for Douglas
College. This includes providing training
for faculty, staff and students, where CET
staff serve as consultants, producers and
troubleshooters for media projects. They
also provide technical supplies to support
video, graphic, audio, photographic, and
multimedia production. A CET handbook
is available for anyone who would like a
listing of their services. For a copy, please
drop by Room 3100 or call 527-5468.
