Digital Media Capture and Distribution
ITCS maintains digital media capture systems that are used university wide for educational purposes. ITCS will provide limited administrative access to department administrators. This access can include account, file and folder management as well as the ability to schedule meetings or events used to capture or to enable faculty within their respective units to capture digital media for later distribution.
ITCS Responsibilities
ITCS provides centralized support for digital media capture systems for all ECU faculty, staff, students and external users during normal business hours (8:00 am – 5:00 pm), Monday through Friday, excluding university closings. Additional evening and weekend support is available to students via the Pirate Techs Service Desk.
ITCS provides regular group and individual training for supported digital media capture systems for ECU faculty, staff and students. Additionally, ITCS provides administrative training to prospective Departmental Application Administrators within the academic units at least once per semester.
ITCS provides appropriate administrative access to department application administrators.
Equipment needed for certain digital media capture systems will be installed in approved locations as part of the room refresh/upgrade schedule. Additionally, ITCS will provide hardware, operating system and software support for the digital media capture equipment.
ITCS will notify department application administrators of any scheduled down times or planned upgrades.
ITCS sends platform-specific educational material and terms of use to all users at the beginning of each fall and spring semester.

New department application administrators must attend the required administrator training course(s) for each platform for which they are responsible.
Current department application administrators are required to attend annual training and agree to this Digital Media Capture MOU.
