AV Tech Classroom Support Student - Hiring Now!
Position Summary
- We are hiring first year and second year MSPA students to support faculty in using classroom technology.
- Requirements include comfort with: attending class in person, AV troubleshooting, Zoom, Microsoft Office, and assisting faculty
- Pay starts at $16/hr and you may claim .5 hours per lecturer you support.
Responsibilities
MD and MSPA support students are responsible for coordinating with each other to make sure at least one student support worker is present at all core curriculum lectures. Students are responsible for the lectures they commit to attend and, if they cannot attend, are responsible for asking the other student to cover for them or for notifying Art Bascos (abascos@stanford.edu, 650-575-4232) that the session will need support from AV Tech staff.
MSPA support students are responsible for attending all required MSPA course sessions that are taken separately from the MD class.
All support students are responsible for tracking and submitting their own time worked via axess.stanford.edu. Students must claim only the time that they worked. Any inconsistency between the times claimed and the times actually worked will result in termination.
Though this position is hired for in-person classes, should any situation arise where classes are held remotely, the responsibilities of this position will be shifted to support remote teaching and learning.

Assist the faculty/speaker with the lighting presets, video routing, mic, presentation and any additional set-up needs.
Let the faculty know that I will provide them with time reminders when there are five minutes remaining and then when there is no time remaining for the scheduled session. If faculty do not want to be notified, I will honor their request.
Take the aisle seat closest to the lectern (first or second row - to make it easier to assist during the lecture).
During class, I will:
Sit near the lectern to assist quickly when needed.
Assist with digital inking, polling or other computer support. If there is a question I can't answer, I will call the Support Line at: 650-724-7370
Check the microphones at breaks. If they need to be charged, I will call the Support Line at: 650-724-7370
Make sure the microphones are turned on after breaks.
If there is any media in the classroom presentation that could be PHI, I will notify medcanvas@stanford.edu
Provide time reminders to let the speaker know when time is ending (5 minutes remaining and time is up).
On request, upload the original and annotated PowerPoint files to the Mediadropbox (http://med.stanford.edu/mediadropbox).
Remind students and faculty to take questions outside the classroom after class – to allow the next class to begin promptly.
On a quarterly basis, I will:
Attend brief (30 minute) training updates scheduled by AV Tech.
When there's an issue deserving attention, give feedback to supervisor, Art Bascos (abascos@stanford.edu, 650-575-4232).
