How to set up a Deepfreeze scheduled maintenance window using Embedded Events
Embedded events are stored on the clients, so do not require the server to run and be able to communicate with the clients to run the event. Don’t forget to select the clients you want to send the embedded event to. Result:

Screencasts for Fall 2011 Workshop: Computer classroom management in the LRC using Sanako Study 1200
- The workshop stayed “this side of the digital audio lab”, i.e. focused on those generic teaching tasks that the Sanako Study 1200 can facilitate which have the widest teaching application (including in, but also beyond language-skill-courses):
- remote controlling student computers,
- screen sharing, collaborating with students,
- launching applications on students computers,
- sending students to webpages,
- launching handout files to students and collecting their input back
- locking their computers, screens or keyboards,
- “clicker” classroom polls, for which I have written a PowerPoint Template you can base your own clicker-like face-to-face class exercises on.
- and more…
- Here are two screencasts of my presentation:
- one for the right screen/participant screen (using the Study1200 teacher to student screen casting). Requires Windows Media Player on PC, like in the LRC: download from MS-SkyDrive.
- one for the left screen/projector, where I displayed mostly a PowerPoint. You can watch this in parallel using another player, e.g. the VLC player, like in the LRC. However, it can also stream from MS-SkyDrive.

How to book LRC resources – explained in one screenshot
You can come to the LRC reception desk to book an item (you will still need to log into your NINERMAIL). But you can also self-help, and get immediate confirmation, from any device with access to your NINERMAIL:
If you have a basic LRC classroom booking scenario, send to the room lrcroomcoed434@uncc.edu what looks like “an email that includes times”: Go to your Ninermail inbox. Using the little triangle icon, unfold the “New” menu. Click menu item “Meeting request”. In the window, that opens, in the “Resources:” field, put lrcroomcoed434@uncc.edu. In the “Subject:”, put your course number. Enter start and end times of your classes visit. In the upper left, Click “Send”. Within a few seconds you receive a response email from the room in OWA: If you did not check the “Scheduling Assistant” tab, you may be asked to reschedule because of a conflict. If you fail to get a response, something went wrong, did you mistype the address? OWA remembers and suggests it after first use, but the first time you need to get it right.
For more advanced scenarios (beyond #3 below), first find the email address of our bookable resources, then book it like so:
