MLC Signage

How to upload signs to the sign system on campus.

MLC Signage

Signage System

The new signage system allows any staff or faculty member to submit signs through the signage website. This will let people manage their own signs. Once a sign is submitted, the Student Life Office will be able to approve them or request a revision, similar to how Portal News works.

First, visit https://signage.mlc-wels.edu and log in with your MLC Account credentials.

Submitting a sign is very straightforward. Simply click the Continue button under Upload Images.

Main.PNG

You'll be prompted to select an image to upload on the next page:

Upload.PNG

The TVs around campus all use a 16:9 aspect ratio and are 1920x1080 pixels in size, but the signage system will do its best to fit images of other sizes.

Once you select a valid image, you can make some decisions on when and where the image should show, and add a comment.

UploadExample.PNG

If you leave a stop date blank, it will stay on the signs forever. Similarly, if you do not set a start date, the image will appear instantly on the selected screens.

Once you've checked to make sure you are happy with your sign, you can preview it with the View Fullscreen button, or use the Submit for Approval button. This will submit the sign to be approved by one of the administrators for the sign system.

If you realize you've made a mistake and want to modify one of your signs, you can do so from the Manage Signs menu that is accessible from the main page of the website. Any sign that you personally uploaded can be modified or deleted.

Ringtones

Our phones are capable of using the default system ringtone and 3 additional ringtones that can be customized by the administrator (IT Services). We are currently experimenting with ringtones, trying to find professional sounding ringtones. Each of you may select any one of the four available ringtones. The video below walks you through the process.

Note: You may need to set these each day until I figure out how to keep it from resetting each day.

Create a Phonebook

View the video below to create a phonebook of frequently called numbers. Feel free to experiment with the fields that are available. Use as many or few as you wish.

Sharing video files with students

You can find instructions for how students can share video files with instructors at https://help.mlc-wels.edu/books/new-to-online-learning/page/share-a-video-file-with-my-instructor and they work just as well for instructors. However, you can also create a folder with the proper sharing settings so that it is easy to upload files, grab the sharing link, and link in Moodle.

A friendly reminder, please default to storing as much of the large video files in your Google Drive account as possible at this time.

That's really it. However, you can watch a helpful video as well to see it in action!
