What is Digital Signage?
Digital Signage is here to help you get the word out about your group, event, award, or anything FACS related. The Office of Technology and Instructional Services manages the system while staff members across the college help post the information.
Digital Signage is a closed-circuit, in-college communication system which uses flat-screen monitors to broadcast important information to FACS students, faculty, and staff. Displays are located at various points around the college.
FACS will use this system to increase the effectiveness of communications to students, faculty and staff.

- When using photos, be sure the photos are high-resolution 4" x 3" (1024 x 768) bitmaps. If in doubt, call the Office of Technology and Instructional Services at (706) 542-4864 before posting.
- Be brief and to the point as your message has a better chance of being read if the content of the message is quickly and efficiently displayed.
