  • HETMA Presents... Chair to Chair: September 2025 Brittney Grant Approved Program
    2025/09/26
    In this episode, Erin Maher-Moran interviews Brittney Grant, the chair of HETMA's Approved Program Committee. Brittney shares her unexpected journey into higher education technology, which began with her involvement in high school theater and later at her church's tech team. After working in various fields like healthcare and manufacturing, she returned to live events. The COVID-19 pandemic led to her being one of three people running the entire venue. This experience, along with her role as the SGA’s VP of F&O at Aims Community College, helped her realize her passion for live events and process-oriented work. She applied for a job at Aims after graduating and has been there for three years.

    The Importance of Process
    Brittney emphasizes that her current role at Aims has been a significant learning experience, as there were almost no existing processes when she started. She had to learn everything the hard way, and she and her team are still working to establish and define systems. She likens the situation to "reorganizing the train at full speed," which is a challenging but necessary task. She also discusses the importance of having a balance between structure and flexibility in her work and personal life. She highlights the need to "take a step back" and "let the chips fall" when faced with setbacks, and she advises listeners that it's okay to fail and learn from the experience.

    The HETMA Approved Program
    Brittney explains that the Approved Program provides a service to evaluate technology products through the lens of higher education tech managers. This evaluation helps both HETMA members and manufacturers by giving them confidence that a product is suitable for the higher education environment. She notes that the program is expanding beyond hardware to include software. Brittney's goal is to improve the program's efficiency and communication by implementing clearer organizational processes and encouraging more HETMA members to participate as evaluators. She believes that a diverse group of evaluators is crucial for providing a comprehensive and accurate assessment of products. She ends the discussion by reiterating that building successful systems involves trial and error and the ability to adapt. She believes that the Approved Program will continue to evolve and serve the community better as more people get involved.

    Topics Discussed:
    Brittney's Unconventional Career Path
    The Importance of Defined Processes
    What the HETMA Approved Program Does
    The Challenge of Managing Expectations and People
    The Value of Trial and Error

  • David Lopez: More Than Wireless Display
    2025/09/24
    Today on HETMA Presents..., Ryan sits down with David Lopez, Global Director of Education Strategy at ScreenBeam, to unpack how wireless display has evolved from a convenience feature to a core building block for learning spaces. David traces the roots from Intel WiDi and Miracast to today’s multi-OS reality (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Chrome) and explains why standards-based casting still matters for scale, support, and security. From there, the discussion widens: what higher ed actually needs beyond “put your screen on the wall,” how to ensure a consistent user experience across rooms, and the operational wins when faculty aren’t fighting drivers and dongles.

    They also cover the bigger ecosystem: USB conferencing that lets BYOD laptops use in-room cameras and mics via ScreenBeam Conference; the receiver as a platform (Signage Plus, Alert Plus, Message Manager) for communications and light digital signage; and practical install touches like compact form factors and magnetic mounting. Looking ahead, David talks instruction-focused tools—whiteboarding that plays nicely with laptops, and moderation workflows (e.g., Orchestrate) that shine in labs and active-learning spaces. The through-line: simple, reliable, and IT-manageable experiences that lower friction for instructors and support teams.

    Topics Discussed
    • Why standards (Miracast/AirPlay/Chromecast) still underpin reliable, multi-platform casting in higher ed
    • From “wireless display” to “platform on the display”: signage, alerts, and message management
    • BYOD without the pain: using room cameras/mics with a laptop via USB conferencing (ScreenBeam Conference)
    • Designing for a consistent end-user experience across rooms and buildings
    • Admin/management considerations at scale: profiles, groups, updates, and security posture
    • Hardware realities: small receivers, flexible power, clean mounting (including magnets)
    • Teaching workflows: inking/whiteboard, annotating, and quick walk-up sharing
    • Moderation in labs/active learning: when “raise-hand to share” (Orchestrate) makes sense in higher ed
    • Deployment tips: avoiding driver roulette, reducing help-desk calls, and planning for mixed OS fleets
    • Roadmap mindset: treating the receiver as an extensible edge device for campus communications

  • #Roadto10K: September 2025: Life is a Highway
    2025/09/04
    September’s Road to 10K digs into how positive, repeatable habits become the engine of team culture and performance. Host Ryan Gray is joined by Brian Shanks (Texas State University), Annie Foster (Washington and Lee University; HETMA Secretary), and Steve Greenblatt (Control Concepts) to swap practical frameworks: stacking habits so one triggers the next, using “alerts” to spot when you’re slipping, replacing the old “just get it done” reflex with “get it done right,” and gamifying quality through commissioning and scoring handoffs between integration and support. The group keeps outcomes at the center and treats process as a living system—iterated, owned, and measured.

    They also get into the leadership moves that make habits stick: start with trust, invite fresh eyes to question sacred cows, sell the vision (don’t just demand it), and build internal champions who keep momentum when attention shifts. Steve introduces EOS-style Level 10 rhythms as a repeatable structure for reviewing goals and metrics, while Brian and Annie show how empowerment at the “lowest level” creates real buy-in. It’s a timely, practical blueprint for September’s theme—Build a System—so your team can thrive when crunch time hits.

    Topics Discussed
    • Habit stacking and using “alerts” to course-correct early.
    • Turning “get it done” culture into “get it done right” quality.
    • Commissioning + scoring spaces to close the loop between integration and support.
    • Trust first: empowering teams to solve problems at the lowest level.
    • Giving new hires permission to challenge the “agreed-upon way.”
    • Selling the vision vs. micromanaging; building champions of consistency.
    • Using cadence (e.g., EOS Level 10) to keep outcomes front-and-center.
    • Personal habit hacks: accountability, tiny disciplines, and rewards.
    • When habits become liabilities—recognizing and retiring outdated routines.
    • Mission → buy-in → habits → outcomes: aligning people systems like AV systems.
