Interactive Television (ITV)

If you would like training/familiarization for the video conferencing system you will be using, please contact the distance learning engineer listed below at least a week prior to your conference/class to arrange for a training session. Training during your class tends to produce unsatisfactory results.

Phone calls receive priority handling, use email for prior coordination or after conference comment. If there were technical issue/s with your conference and you wish to leave an after conference comment, please be as descriptive as possible.

If there has been prior coordination for your conference we will normally be able to contact the facilitator/technical help for non-Springfield ITV sites for you.

For help outside of normal hours, please coordinate prior to your event.
