Audio / Visual Responsibilities
After Jim Mills left our organization, Brett Cook graciously agreed to accept the A/V responsibilities on a temporary basis. Right now we do not have plans to refill Jim’s position. Brett will retain the overall planning and coordination responsibilities for instructional A/V equipment, and the Desktop team will accept the day-to-day maintenance and support responsibilities as Brett transitions into his new responsibilities in desktop management. It is our intent that the Distance Education Coordinator (when hired) will assume the planning and coordination responsibilities for A/V technology in the classrooms.
