STAR*T Policies
- Training
The more time a student has for learning a new software package or
video-related skill, the better the success of the project.
Any student requesting training will be asked to provide a time line for
the completion of the project that is driving his/her request. Training,
at various learner levels, can begin immediately. Understanding can
only come with time and practice.
The escalation of training offerings is as follows, from most immediately
available to least immediately available:
- A handout or course materials
- A user guide (if available through STAR)
- A training video
- A mentoring session
- A regular workshop
- A special topic workshop
- Lab Use
When not used for workshops or other types of training, the STAR*T lab is
available to any GMU student working on a multi-media project. While we
have facilities for scanning and web page production, we are sometimes
short of spaces. We may suggest students use STAR for scanning and
web.STAR for web page production.
- Do not change the configuration of the computers in any way or load software onto them.
- Do not save your work on a STAR*T computer and expect it to be there when you come
back. No matter what a mentor can do, computers can fail at any time and computer
maintenance often requires rebuilding the disk drive. This process deletes all data files.
- Report any problems with computers or other equipment to a lab mentor or supervisor.
- Copyright Policy: Do not violate copyright and "Fair Use" laws. Royalty-free graphics are available from STAR. Copyrighted materials on the web are considered "intellectual property". Follow
directions given on a web site for use of graphics or other materials, or contact copyright
holders to get permission to use their copyrighted material. For more information, please check the following: DoIT Copyright Basics or GMU Copyright Information
- Please do not bring food or drink into the lab. Water may kept beside you for your use as
long as it is stored in covered containers or lidded bottles.
- Mentor can help you by answering questions, directing you to workshops and resources, and
referring you as needed. They may not do any part of your project.
