In-person Training

In-person training sessions cover all the available technology in the classroom as well as its proper use, helpful hints and troubleshooting. The purpose of the training is to ensure your comfort level with the technology as well as prevent potential misuse and damage to the equipment.

Media Services offers in-person orientation sessions on the standard equipment used in general purpose PT Classrooms. These orientation sessions are approximately 30 minutes long, and are scheduled according to staff availability. To serve you better, please schedule your session in advance by submitting your request to avhelp@ryerson.ca
