This document provides instructions for a student to record information about audiovisual equipment available at their school for a creative media course assignment. Students are asked to consider recording resources like cameras, digital recorders, laptops and software. They should list specific equipment in a table including where it can be found, its availability, and how to book it. Examples given include a video camera and tripod available in the school's media department and Mac computers located in the T-block that can be booked at any time. The completed equipment resource table will form the student's first recording for the course.
