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.

What is the procedure for submitting PowerPoint Presentations for the class?

There’s a limit of 5MB when you send the presentations through email. This is a University Computing and Telecommunications (UCAT) policy. Do not forget to write the name of your class, name of the instructor, class meeting time and presentation date in the email/on the CD disk/Zip disk.

Is eating/drinking allowed in the ATN classrooms?

No, eating/drinking is NOT allowed in the ATN classrooms due to the risk of equipment damage. Only bottled water is allowed in the classrooms. There are tables and chairs outside the classrooms for all purposes.


What can I do to catch up on a missed class meeting?

Every class conducted at the ATN is recorded on video tape and made available for check-out for future use. The tapes can be checked out on the first floor of the IRC building at the department of Media services. (Media services: (408) 924-2888). In addition to video tapes, most classes are also webcast and can be viewed live (Live Classes section) while the class is in session and also any time during the semester at the ATN website (Archive Classes section). For more information visit the webcasting section of the ATN website here.


What is the technology used in the ATN classrooms?

The ATN classrooms have Microphones/Cameras for recording the class. They are very sensitive, live and you can be heard and/or seen by off-sites.


Can I request assistance from the in-person technical support/operator of the class?

Unless it’s an emergency, we would appreciate if you did not request assistance from the operator during broadcast. Any questions/comments should be directed through the instructor or otherwise addressed at the end of class.
