The Office of Instructional Media has as its mission the application of the techniques and processes of modern communication technologies in support of the Pittsburg State University academic program.
Instructional Media provides support for delivery of classes and programs using interactive distance learning technologies taking University classes around the state and nation.
Pittsburg State University has been a pioneer in the development and utilization of CCTV (closed circuit television) for instructional purposes. A studio complete with video and audio taping facilities is located in Hartman Hall. Some 340 classrooms across campus are equipped to receive video programming via the campus cable system. Three satellite down-links (earth stations) provide educational video programming and satellite video conferencing capabilities.
Most classrooms on campus provide a totally flexible teaching atmosphere using modern technology. Conventional classroom and auditorium teaching/learning facilities are complemented by integrated media systems.
A comprehensive collection of catalogs of rental and sponsored video tapes, 16mm films, and multi-media packages is available and the Office of Instruction Media provides complete acquisition services and a substantial subsidy to rental costs. Audiovisual equipment associated with the use of such materials is available upon request. |
