Staff Support

Each department has staff support. Your department chair or program director will let you know who your support person is and the type of work this person is responsible for in the department. Faculty may also hire student research assistants [ Form and process, PDF].

Classrooms, Room Assignment, and Technology

• If you need a specific room or room features for your class (e.g. SMART board, computer lab), submit room requests to your department office at least two months in advance.
• Check the audio/visual equipment well in advance of the first day of class.
• Request any changes in course meeting times, computer lab reservations, and classroom changes through your department’s administrative staff.
• When you finish your class session, please take down anything you may have posted during class and return furniture to its original setup.
• For problems with your classroom (i.e., burned out light bulb, leaky roof) or if you find any door locked and need to gain entrance, call Campus Safety at 503-768-7855. 
• SMART classrooms have wireless data access, media screen, sound system, and A/V rack (including computer, overhead projector, laptop connections for projection, CD/DVD/VCR players).
• The computer lab has 20 computers and a printer and can be reserved for classes. The computer lab is open for student use any time when it is not reserved for a scheduled class. Access to the computer lab is gained with a Lewis & Clark ID card.

AV Equipment
Most classrooms are equipped with a TV, VCR, and CD and DVD players and overhead projector. If these are not in good working order, please inform Amy Williams, at 503-768-6011 or amandaaw@lclark.edu.

Course Materials and Readings

Course Material Preparation

If you need to copy materials for your class, give your request to the program office at well in advance of the date needed (please check with the department office regarding specific details of how to submit your orders electronically). Copyrighted materials must be accompanied by the required permissions.

Moodle

Moodle is an open-source learning management system. In Moodle, you can create an online space for your class where you can post syllabi, share readings and audiovisual materials, collect assignments, stage interactive discussions and collaborative activities, and provide schedules and other class-related information.

A Moodle page has already been created for your course—if you know Moodle, all you need to do is sign in with your LC username and password. If you would like assistance in designing a Moodle page for your course, contact Damian Miller at dpm@lclark.edu.

Watzek Library Resources

• The library/faculty liaison program pairs a librarian with each academic department or program to facilitate the selection of library materials, inform faculty about new library resources and services, and assist you with your instructional needs.
• Our Course reserve service provides controlled, ready access to materials required for Lewis & Clark classes. Many items, such as journal articles, book chapters, and audio selections, can be made available through electronic reserve.
• Faculty and Staff may borrow books and audiovisual materials from Watzek library using your Lewis & Clark ID. Through our Article Delivery service Watzek staff will scan journal articles and book chapters available in Watzek’s print or microform collections for faculty. Using Graduate Campus Delivery graduate faculty may have library materials delivered directly to Rogers Hall. You may return items to Watzek by placing them in the book drop located in York Commons if you cannot make it to our building.
