Steps for Successful Use of Technology in the Classroom
Get the Right Classroom
Describe the capacity, furnishings, and technology you will need when the A&S Registrar solicits this information from your department each term. Check with your Department Administrator or Chair for more information. A&S central booked classrooms are designed for self-service use of computer, video, and document display. Faculty may also record their voice and the computer desktop in any central booked classroom as well as ability to host a guest lecturer via desktop conferencing. Non-central spaces are booked by the Registrar, as needed, on a per term basis.
For a listing of central booked classrooms, go to Central Booked Classrooms (UG) - Locations.
