Distance Education Scheduling

The Office of Classroom Services (OCRS) is responsible to the Medical College of Georgia for the administration of Distance Education, providing guidance, implementation, scheduling and technical support.

Scheduling distance education requirements delivered via GSAMS is coordinated through OCRS. Request for scheduling distance education credit courses via GSAMS should be submitted to OCRS at least 60 days prior if not sooner to the start of each semester. Keep in mind that the other sites connecting to your course need to have adequate notice as well. Credit courses do have priority over all other programs and meetings delivered via GSAMS.

Outside organizations must coordinate directly with the OCRS prior to any scheduling of GSAMS rooms. Point of Contact: James Meadows, 706-721-3061/3062 or e-mail.

Scheduling continuing education programs delivered via GSAMS are coordinated through the Division of Continuing Education at 706-721-3967.

Each school or department utilizing distance education has been asked to select an individual to serve as a point of contact. The contact person should be responsible for providing pertinent information and submitting requirements to the OCRS using the Distance Education Scheduling Request Form below.

Important: It is the responsibility of the instructors/presenters to provide the OCRS what their audio and visual needs are in sufficient time prior to their lecture/class. Submit this information using the Request for Audiovisual Equipment Form.

The GTA Videoconference Scheduler will assist you with:
 - Locating GSAMS Sites by searching the GSAMS database by city, agency, county or date.
 - A listing of all GSAMS sites schedules
 - Listing of site coordinators, including contact names telephone/fax numbers and room locations.

The request will then be processed by OCRS. Once the OCRS has completed the scheduling process and a confirmation number from Bell South has been received, OCRS will forward a copy of the confirmation to the requester. This will serve as a confirmation of the requirements.
