Classroom Technology

 

In order to best support the college, 55 classrooms and lecture halls have permanently installed multi-media equipment racks, lecterns, or Smart Boards. In addition we have 14 fixed mobile projection carts stationed in other classrooms. All our media console, mobile cart, and Smart Board systems are equipped with either a Dell Duo Core PC with MS Windows7 or a dual-boot Mac Mini (i.e. Mac OS10.6 and MS Win7); a DVD/VHS combo player, a sound system and connections for user's laptop to the display. All of our installations utilize wireless RF Keyboards.

Some classrooms have Wacom Tablets, Document Cameras, Video conferencing and Lecture capturing capabilities installed. For classrooms or spaces without fixed equipment we can provide mobile carts equipped with an LCD projector, a PC, and 30w Sound System. All classrooms also have a standard overhead transparency projector and screen (tripod or wall). To find specific information about a room's equipment please check Media Services Resources
