Campus Room List & Technical Infromation
Below is a document with information on features and technology in all classrooms on campus.
Technical Terms to Know
Display
The term display refers to the large display in a instructional or meeting space. This may be a large monitor (TV), a traditional screen with a projector, or an interactive whiteboard with a projector.
Extended vs. Duplicated Display
When using multiple monitors or display devices the user can choose to display the same information on both displays (Duplicated) or different information on both displays (Extended). This setting is available by right clicking on your desktop and selecting “display settings”. This can also be easily changed through the keyboard shortcut “windows key” and “P”.
BYOD (Bring Your Own Device)
Bring your own device. This refers to any source brought into a space other than the devices which are installed and stay in the room at all times. An example would be your personal laptop.
Interactivity
Interactivity is provided through many styles in our instructional spaces. Interactivity provides the opportunity to electronically whiteboard or annotate on the presented image. Examples of this technology are Epson interactive whiteboards, SMART boards, and touch screen Instructor PC’s which allow you to accomplish this feature without needing to turn your back to the students.
