The numbers in the layout correspond to the numbers we posted (to facilitate teacher and student orientation and to aid in LRC temp staff troubleshooting) on the computer monitors and also (for IT staff) to the number part of the underlying computer names which can also be displayed in the classroom management systems NetOP School and Sanako Study 1200 on the teacher computer (32).

How LRC assistants help maintain the film collection
2014/01/21
Leave a comment
- You may find your self confronted with a box like this (at any given time):
- Has the movie already received one of our 4-digit labels?
- yes
- check it into the LRC Film collection spreadsheet
- no = Cataloguing new movies
- can you find the title of the movie in the LRC Film collection spreadsheet,
- yes: then find the label this movie has to be assigned
- no: take whatever label you need from the pre-printed sheets (coed436) and attach it to the new unlabeled movie box
- can you find the title of the movie in the LRC Film collection spreadsheet,
- yes
- put the movie, now labeled, on the stacks in proper sort order
- movie reserve shelf: consolidate it with the film collection (weekly)
- movie stacks: consolidate it with the film collection (monthly)
Deepfreeze rebooting the lab computers again during use
2014/01/14

- I have been told that Deepfreeze will reboot lab computers (hourly?) only when they are idle (on login screen).
- However, I have observed the unsolicited reboot also when trying to work with these computers.
- Today, I had both lab computers that I was working on with the Sanako , reboot in the middle of my testing, with the 1 minute warning dialogue.
- Will pressing “cancel” prevent this, especially during high-stakes writing and speaking assessments with the Sanako? What if the users misses it (we sometimes deliberately have the screens blocked/blacked out during parts of classes).
New supervisor role for senior LRC Assistants
2014/01/13
Leave a comment
- A new LRC Assistant list, sorted by hire date, has been posted on the inside LRC reception desk. Use it to determine who is currently the most senior LRC assistant at the desk. The current most senior LRC assistant serves as supervisor and always wears the green supervisor badge pictured below. When the supervisor leaves, the supervisor passes on the badge to the next senior LRC assistant in line.
- Supervisors do not have to perform clerical tasks (meeting requests, equipment handling, etc.) as long as there are enough less senior LRC assistants to handle the client load. Rather, supervisors monitor less experienced LRC assistants operating the reception desk computers, equipment etc. , help train them and avoid mistakes.

Find it in coed436 and take it with you during routine checks and when assisting clients.
