Lectern software list
The lectern software list (PDF 203 kB, 2 pages) provides details of software and applications on the AVS lecterns/BBQ.
Advanced presentation rooms 'Lecterns and BBQ's'
Permanently installed AV facilities feature in a range of teaching spaces. Further information on which rooms have these facilities and how to use all the UTS Presentation Lecterns is available in the Service Desk under the 'Campus rooms' listing . The lecterns and 'bbq's installed in these spaces were designed with input from your academic colleagues and include commonly used AV equipment so you no longer have to use portable technology.
Faulty or broken equipment
AVS staff are available for on-call assistance. When you call we will either talk you through the problem or come to the room to assist in person.
Contact your local AVS office.
If you discover equipment is broken and needs repairs you can let us know via the Service Desk. We will also organise a replacement for you.
New facilities
AVS provides comprehensive design and project management services for developing new or upgrading existing teaching & learning AV facilties. Early advice as to proposed projects enables AV staff to work closely with Faculty staff and the design team to achieve an effective integration of AV facilities into your project. Contact Reg Collins (x1040) or Kathy Grattan (x1111) for further information.
