Classroom Technology
Classrooms at all campuses include at least one camera focused on the front of the classroom to allow “remote” students to see the instructor and an appropriate number of microphones and speakers for the size of the room to ensure the two-way engagement of all participants. At a minimum, one display device is present in each room to ensure that students physically present in the room can see their counterparts who are joining remotely as well as any content that the instructor chooses to display for the class. Use of this technology is designed so that an instructor can operate the classroom with minimal training and/or assistance.
Available Classroom Technology
Teams Classrooms
- 1-2 display devices
- Microsoft Teams Computer Panel
- HD Wall Camera
- Ceiling microphones/speakers
- Faculty laptop with Microsoft Teams
Standard Classrooms
- 1 display device (projector or screen) with HDMI cable
- Tripod mounted webcam with microphone
- In-room speakers (where available)
- Faculty laptop with Microsoft Teams
How to use Classroom Technology
- In a Teams classroom, instructors may start the class session from a Microsoft Teams wall panel in the
room, with no other required technology. Those in the room immediately see and hear
students joining remotely. If a presentation or other content is required, the instructor
joins the Teams class on her/his laptop and shares the material, thereby pushing the
content to the display in the physical room and to any remote participants screens
simultaneously. Students are also able to share their screens/content with the entire
class via Teams. This solution minimizes the need for handling any cables to connect
to classroom technology.

- In a Standard classroom there is no Microsoft Teams computer panel, the instructor may join the Teams class
on her/his laptop and shares the material to all remote participants screens simultaneously.
In order to display in the physical room, the instructor connects to the projector/screen
using Airmedia/Solstice (if available) or with an HDMI cable. Students are also able
to share their screens/content with the entire class via Teams.
