PROCEDURES
  • OREGON WIN SCHEDULING PROCEDURES

    Scheduling procedures. Oregon WIN ITFS channels and microwave paths are scheduled through the Oregon WIN Director's office. To schedule an event, Oregon WIN Members and Participating Members must complete an Oregon WIN Scheduling Form and return it to the contact noted on the form. The Oregon WIN scheduler will notify the requestor of any conflicts and suggest alternative routes. Once an event is scheduled the requestor will receive an e-mail confirmation. Individuals or organizations not associated with Oregon WIN may access the network when hosted by an Oregon WIN Member or Participating Member. The Oregon WIN scheduler only schedules ITFS channels and microwave paths and will NOT schedule individual ITFS receive sites. ITFS receive sites must be scheduled by the program originator.

    ITFS Channels. Oregon WIN Members are assigned specific ITFS channels (See chart). Standard (default) microwave routing provides Members with direct links to their assigned ITFS channel. However, network routing also allows members to share unused channel time. Any unscheduled ITFS channel time is available for use by other Oregon WIN members or sponsored users by following established scheduling procedures.

    Microwave paths. Oregon WIN Members are responsible for providing video and audio on a 7x24 basis to the Studio-To-Transmitter (STL) microwave path that connects their campus to the Oregon WIN network. Oregon WIN will schedule all microwave links, excluding the STLs, by following established scheduling procedures.

    Scheduling priorities
    Deadlines - The Board will establish scheduling deadlines for campuses to provide schedules for assigned channels as follows:
    • Course schedules - Each spring term a date will be established for the submission of course schedules for the upcoming academic year.
    • Term schedules - Dates will be set in August, December, March and June for scheduling additional events during the upcoming term.
    • Monthly schedules - The 20th of each month will be the deadline for submitting requests for the following month.

    Channel capacity available after the monthly schedule is submitted will be available on a first-come-first-served basis. Campuses may form agreements to schedule courses and events in advance on other Members assigned channels as needed.

    Priorities - When conflicts occur among events that meet the scheduling deadlines, or technical failures create scheduling conflicts, the following ranked order priorities will be used.
    1. Term-length courses that are part of a degree or certification program.
    2. Independent term-length courses.
    3. For-credit workshops and seminars.
    4. Non-credit workshops and seminars.
    5. Commercial and other one-time events

    Program delivery standards. Program providers are expected to meet professional audio and video production standards and adequately train faculty/presenters on use of network.
