If you need assistance in setting up a conference or would like to schedule an orientation session for your program area, or want information on the designing curriculum for Distance Learning courses, contact TCID's Administration Office at (210) 531-4516.

First, reserve the room using the DSHS Conference Room Scheduling function on the DSHS Menu System. (Please note that this room is ONLY for teleconferencing). Second, contact TCID's Information Services at (210) 534-8857/x2700 and provide the following information:

1. Date and time of your conference (please schedule the room for ½ hour ahead of the actual start of the conference)
2. The sites to be connected
3. A technical contact name and number for each site.

This technology works best for educational classes of not more than 4 hours in length - this is not an optimum space for all day meetings.
