Classroom AV
HDS IT & Media Services supports Divinity, Rockefeller, and Swartz Halls; the Harvard Divinity School Library; the Center for the Study of World Religions; and the Carriage House. If your course takes place elsewhere, please contact the AV support office for that site, or contact Harvard University’s Education Support Services.
For each audiovisual request, a technician will be present at the start of the event to ensure that the equipment is working properly and that the user is comfortable with its operation. If you prefer that a technician remains for the duration of an event to operate and supervise the equipment, you must specifically request this in advance with the appropriate lead time. Please send all requests to avinfo@hds.harvard.edu.
To see what equipment is already available in your class or meeting room, see our list of permanently installed classroom technology, by location, on the Classroom and AV Services page of the HDS intranet (login required.)
Consultations
If you would like to create an informational or promotional video or audio podcast for your program or course, we can help you focus on what you want to say, help create an outline, script or storyboard.
Production
We can help you organize a timeline for shooting, schedule locations and video record interviews and B roll footage. We can also assist you with interviews you may have scheduled with outside entities like CNN, BBC, and local TV and radio stations, via our new video and audio Production Studio located in Divinity Hall.
Post-Production
We will collaborate with you on assembling a rough cut and editing the footage to a final product that tells the story you want to tell, complete with graphics and music if desired. Examples of Typical Audio/Visual Productions
- Video & Audio Podcasts
- Interviews
- Talking head video
- Musical performances
- Voice-overs
- Foreign Language Recordings
To learn more, please contact us at avinfo@hds.harvard.edu for a consultation.
Class Recordings
Our office can help audio or video recording your class so that the students can review it later. We can assist in setting up your course Zoom recordings, which will automatically be saved in your course’s Panopto folder, or stand-alone recordings. Contact us at avinfo@hds.harvard.edu for more information.
