Hybrid Teaching Technology

With distancing policies in place, all classrooms scheduled for the '20-'21 academic year have technology installed to teach in person and remote students synchronously.

Types of Classrooms

For faculty teaching in classrooms this coming semester, there are two types of classroom configurations outfitted with technology for Hybrid teaching  via Zoom. You can look up what kind of configuration your classrooms will have by searching the Zoom Classroom Status document. 

The following technologies are available in classrooms.

 

Both types of classrooms have Windows computers available. Log in with you NetID and password. 

  • In "Temporary" lectern classrooms, you will not be able to plug in your own device to the system. Have your material accessible on a USB drive or on a cloud-based service.
  • While we suggest using the installed computer,  you may plug in your own device in "Permanent" lectern classrooms. You must bring your own cables and adapters. 

Temporary Lectern Overview

This hybrid learning station was designed to provide teaching faculty with all the tools to facilitate both in-person and online synchronous teaching. Classrooms with "Temporary Lecterns" are equipped with multiple cameras (instructor and student views), audio coverage of instructor and students, and dual monitors with interactive annotation features that can be shared into your Zoom session.

A help guide and video tutorial of the technology setup and detailed instructions on how to use it is available.
