answers to Frequently Asked Questions for faculty teaching/planning

further information on our website or from other sources. Should
you have any further questions, please consult our Support Contacts
page. Where is the ATN located and how can I contact them? The ATN office is located on the third floor, room 310 of the
IRC building on the SJSU campus (map).
The contact information is as follows: phone number: (408)
924-2636; fax number: (408) 924-2881; email: atn@sjsu.edu. There is a link for Service Request

Yes, as part of the services provided by the ATN, a control room
camera operator will be assigned to each class. This will allow you
to integrate a variety of materials into your class presentations
with a minimum amount of effort. Feel free to explain to the
operator what you require before class. You may also direct them
during class. For example, when referring to material projected
with an over-head camera, say, “Can we have a close-up of this?” or
“Give us a wider shot to include both graphs”. For the most part,
once the control room personnel learn your style, direction will
rarely be necessary but will always be welcome. It is essential that you provide a copy of the Green Sheet along
with Class Schedule and notify the ATN of any further changes to
the schedule. Updated office location and office hours along with
contact information are required for further communication. The ‘Authorization and Consent for Use of Name, Voice,
Photograph and Likeness’ form is a written consent to attend any
class held at the ATN for public use of their photograph, voice,
name and likeness. This form must be filled out by Instructors,
students and any guest speakers and submitted to ATN for file. This
is a strict requirement as it is part of the policies enforced by
the University. Yes, off-site students have to sign the consent form and this is
facilitated by the site coordinators at the respective sites. The ATN has a strict policy for PowerPoint Presentations. Submit the presentation 5 business days before class. Bring it to IRC 310 on a Zip, Floppy or CD disk OR email it to atn@sjsu.edu. There’s a limit of 5MB when you send the presentations through email. This is a University Computing and Telecommunications (UCAT) policy. More information is available at our Faculty Support PowerPoint
Guide. The Instructor’s Questionnaire (orange sheet) is used by the
instructor at the end of each class session to give feedback and/or
to request any special setups for the following week’s class
session. This form MUST be filled out at the end of each
class. Yes, every instructor at the ATN is assigned a mailbox for
mailing purposes. This mailbox is located in IRC 303 along with a
general outbox for outgoing mail/UPS. At the end of the semester,
all ATN mailboxes will be cleared within the following week and any
material left behind will be sent to the respective
instructors. To send material through UPS, put the material in the big grey
Inter Department Envelope and leave it in the outbox or drop it off
in the ATN office (IRC 310). Make sure to write the class name and
the name of the receiving site on the envelope. Yes, a fax machine is located in IRC 303. This is a self-service
feature, however feel free to ask for assistance from any ATN
staff. The step-by-step procedure for faxing documents and the list
of fax numbers is located next to the Fax machine. It
can be used to send/receive materials to/from student/sites. When
using the fax machine, please inform the site assistants that you
have faxed materials. You are encouraged to use UPS whenever
possible. A site coordinator is present at each class meeting. Although it is part of their responsibility to proctor all quizzes, midterms and finals for students at the off-sites, they should be provided with detailed instructions of your expectations. Important information includes, but is not limited to;
