Overhead Projector

Overhead (Transparency) Projectors: 5/20/2016

As of 5/20/2016, Classroom Technology Support will no longer place Overhead (transparency) Projectors in classrooms. Beginning 5/23/2016 (the start of the 2016 Academic Year), faculty may instead request portable overhead projectors or digital projection visualizers, such as document cameras, to use with transparency slides. Portable Overhead Projectors may be requested from the JLC - West Campus Support Site, while visualizers may be requested from the Service Counter location supporting the specific classroom the equipment will be utilized in. Classroom Technology Support & Solutions recommends faculty consult with the TLT Teaching Learning Lab for help with converting existing transparency slides into a digital format so they are both portable and easily presented in all technology equipped classrooms.
Please note requests for equipment must be performed on a per-class basis (picked up before the class start time, and returned after the class end time).
