    About this Episode

    27: Holiday Wishlist (B&H Convenience Store) | AV Superfriends: On Topic

    Recorded October 26, 2022

    In the spirit of American retail annual sales scheduling, here’s a holiday episode recorded in October. Our theme for this show is stocking stuffers, so we all have a little gift to share (aka a “recommendation”) or something from our AV wish list that will hopefully arrive soon. Little Marc gives everyone AVoIP decoders, little Chris gives “secret” analog I/O for QSC Cores and wants the perfect button panel controller, little Justin gives everyone an NDI to USB converter, little Jamie also gifts us all an NDI decoder, and little Larry brings a Dante remote decoder from the local corner store.

    Don’t forget to join the AV SuperFriends LIVE on Friday, December 9 at 3:00p EST for our holiday spectacular!

    Recorded (and streamed live) on February 16, 2016

    This month’s topic is “rethinking spaces” so we decided to discuss projects that we’ve completed recently that we wish we’d approached differently. Marc hates microphones, Chris hates complexity, Justin hates how the AV services are marketed on campus, Jamie hates treating rooms as clones of one another, and Larry hates blanket approaches (and single monitors on lecterns).

    Episode 43: BYOD is an AV Rodent

    Recorded January 19, 2024

    Our topic for February is “things just won’t go away” or “things that keep coming back year after year” like Groundhog Day. We’ve each selected items that we all hope might see their shadow and disappear for a while. BYOD, VR, terrible marketing, wireless sharing, and more. We’re also testing some format changes to On Topic to keep the show shorter and LIVE on various platforms, so look for those unannounced live streams on the socials.

    Alternate titles:
    I was thinking about this hard
    I still can’t stop
    Bad marketing
    This is why people strap goggles to their head to visit the zoo
    It kinda fluctuates in and out
    This is why people think holograms exist

    It’s our third annual prediction show! And I predict we’ll do it again next year.

    We first review our predictions from last year to see just how well we did. Some of us were dead on, others were hit & miss, and yet others seem to be deliberately vague just to claim accuracy regardless of outcome.

    Then, we each prognosticate on what to expect in 2024. Much of it seems to be around AI and Teams. Sorry.

    This discussion lasted almost an hour, so we split it into two episodes.

    It’s December, so it’s time for a holiday wishlist! Each of us shares the AV device or service that we’d really like under the Christmas tree. Some of these are real products, others are slight variations on commonly available products, and one requires a time machine.

    Merry Christmas, y’all!

    Happy Thanksgiving, y’all!

    If you recall, last year we accidentally set fire to Marc’s house while trying to deep fry a turkey. This year we all went to Jamie’s house where Larry volunteered to smoke the turkey overnight, which turned out great! While enjoying Thanksgiving dinner, we each shared our thoughts on some AV turkeys– that is, products or services that don’t quite live up to their promises. Marc hates network switches, Larry thinks perhaps we’re overusing ceiling microphone arrays, Justin is skeptical of too many devices based on Android that will become security concerns in the future, Chris likes the concept but hates the execution of wi-fi group microphone apps, and Jamie has given up on fiber-based extenders.

    PS: always get the full coverage for your rental car.

    Rather than discuss whatever the topic is this month, we decided to challenge ourselves to collaboratively determine how capable of a basic classroom we can put together. Focusing on the capabilities, not the stuff, and given the scenario of a general purpose classroom, about 30 students, single display, and collaboration/hybrid capable, we hashed out just how we’d each approach the system with the ultimate goal of how low we can go. Or, more accurately, how low are we comfortable going and still considering it a fully supportable system.

    This discussion lasted almost an hour, so we split it into two episodes.

    • Do you have a clapper?

    Let’s talk about the Student Experience. And that’s really why we’re all here, isn’t it? We discuss what students are expecting from a university in 2023, advocating for students when no one else will, and crushing everything down to be delivered by Zoom or Teams. After all, we have one chance to get it right; are we cutting corners that puts that all at risk?

    After we’re done complaining, we also discuss some good examples of technology-enabled spaces that put the student experience first– esports, maker spaces, informal learning spaces, and more. Alternate show titles:
    • 80% is great as long as everybody gets it
    • Students don’t quantify experience
    • They recognize when they don’t like it
    • A reason to be in the room
    • This thing’s a dog turd
    • The adequate room
    • The student experience is adequacy
    • Removing stuff can improve a system
    • Never do widget-fest
    • We did not do academic harm
    • Building community spaces

    We’re joined by Marina Walton from Trinity University to talk Faculty Support covering everything from identifying champions, supporting innovative learning spaces (that everyone hates), engaging department chairs, hosting an IT Open House to put faces to names, adding a personal touch to IT support, and much more. We also discuss an article (and related study) about giving faculty more time to learn and adopt new technologies before deploying them campus wide.

    • Just because it works, doesn’t mean it’s a success
