'''''The Engineering Network (TeN)''''', is a "digital signage" system used to display content on TV screens located throughout the engineering buildings. The screens are located in the Trottier, Wong, Macdonald, McConnell and FDA buildings. They are used to advertise events, clubs, student positions, and anything else that provides value to engineering undergraduate students at McGill. The screens are managed by the [mailto:ten@mcgilleus.ca TeN Manager] who works in the [[IT Committee]], in the [[VP Communications]]' portfolio.

To post a slide, simply e-mail it to [mailto:ten@mcgilleus.ca ten@mcgilleus.ca]. The slide will be posted as soon as possible, which may take up to 48h. Also, please follow the following '''requirements''' when submitting a slide.

* The slide must have an aspect ratio of 16:9, ideal dimensions 1920x1080.

* The slide must be an image, i.e. .png .jpg filetypes. (''Please do not submit PowerPoints of PDFs'')

* The start date and the end date must be specified. Slides can be displayed for a maximum of 30 days.

While criteria from the list above are hard requirements, this section aims to provide tips on how to make a slide as effective as possible.

* '''<span style="color: green;">Do</span> keep it short!''' : Slides are displayed for 8 seconds. If people don't have time to read most of the slide, they will ignore it.

* '''<span style="color: red;">Don't</span> put a QR code''': The slides are displayed for 8 seconds. No one will have time to scan the code with their cellphone.
