We actually take a multi-pronged approach. Various members of our technology team are seated on a variety of faculty committees, taking input from the various schools and providing updates about plans. Leadership from our AV Projects team are embedded in a number of Facilities committees, notably ...

OK, this is a little tangential, but for lecture capture systems, recordings made via videoconferencing systems/software, and in-class recordings made by other means for specialized purposes (music, drama, etc.), I'm wondering if anyone has a retention policy that they would be willing to share with ...

If you do go this route, you might ask them for demo product so that you can kick the tires in your particular environment before deploying. We’ve found that when we don’t do this, for some reason whatever is being supplied fights ...
