I just submitted a class that will go over the equipment in the Digital Media cabinets, how to access it, and how to practice excellence in the Digital Media room.
Depending on turnout I will be holding this class every 2 weeks to a month, and in the future I will probably schedule the basics course before or after the committee meeting to encourage participation.
I remember being a new member and thinking that a month was a long time to wait for anything.
Seeing as we have weekly tours and new members joining all the time I think that having a basics course should be something that every committee strives to keep on the calendar on a somewhat regular basis.
This basics course will only cover how to access the equipment and how to put it back without breaking anything, however I will be happy to answer specific questions and as the course evolves maybe a technique or two.
