Hardware

It is possible to come and collect video conferencing equipment in A109.

Video Conferencing Equipment

We have headsets equipped 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 come and collect 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).

It is not necessary 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:

  • with a graphical configuration utility included in Ubuntu settings.
  • You can also download an Ubuntu software Tablette Wacom (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 other issues on 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 Xournal (many thanks to Aurélie for these tutorials).

To Note

The stock of this equipment is very limited, so please follow the rules below:

  • if you have a webcam in your office, you must bring it to the classrooms.
  • webcams/speakerphones/tablets can be borrowed from the CRI in office A109.
  • make sure to return borrowed equipment to A109 at the end of your course so as not to penalize other teachers and their students.

For traceability purposes, each borrowed item will be recorded with the following information:

  • borrowed equipment
  • borrower's name
  • name of the classroom
  • start date and time of borrowing
  • end date and time of borrowing
