What is the responsibility of the Audio-Visual person prior to class?

The responsibility of the Audio-Visual person prior to class primarily involves ascertaining the needs of the instructor and setting up the necessary equipment. This task is crucial because it ensures that the instructional materials and technology are ready to support the teaching process effectively. By understanding what the instructor requires, the Audio-Visual person can prepare the equipment, such as projectors, microphones, and computers, allowing for a smooth and uninterrupted learning experience. This preparation fosters an environment conducive to learning, as it directly impacts how well the information is communicated to the students.

While checking equipment for damage and organizing classroom supplies are important tasks, they are secondary to the primary responsibility of ensuring that the instructor's needs are met in terms of technology and equipment. The setup of the seating arrangement also falls under classroom management but is less critical to the specific role of managing audio-visual needs.
