Video Conferencing

We have headsets with microphones (~25 available)

Remote Courses

To organize remote (or hybrid in-person/remote) courses, we offer a package (10 packages in stock):

  • webcam
  • speakerphone
  • graphics tablet (Wacom Intuos)

You can pick up a package before the course to use it on your personal computer or on the computer in the classroom

The graphics tablet only works with a driver on Mac or Windows

The driver can be downloaded here (see bottom of page)

There is no need to create an account to obtain specific software, as these are intended for a graphic design audience.

However, it is also possible to use a Wacom with Ubuntu

  • using a graphical configuration utility included in Ubuntu settings
  • You can also download an Ubuntu software Wacom Tablet
  • In case of problems, hold down the buttons on the far right and far left of the tablet for it to be properly recognized
  • Troubleshooting for Ubuntu -> here

Thanks to Rodolphe for this information on using Wacom on Ubuntu

Regarding the software to use for ease of use of the tablet

On the computers in the classrooms, the Wacom driver and Xournal++ software will be installed

Some YouTube tutorials on using the tablet with GoodNotes and with Xournal (many thanks to Aurélie for these tutorials)
