New and Improved: Facilities Upgrades

Over the summer upgrades were made to the electronic classrooms on the fifth floor of the Library. New additions in room 501 include a wireless control panel and SmartBoard (an electronic interactive whiteboard).

The wireless control panel allows you to remotely control devices in the classroom.

The electronic whiteboard captures notes and diagrams as you create them, so they can be viewed, saved, edited, shared, or printed. With the SmartBoard, you can have a complete record of ideas, notes and drawings you created during class time to review or distribute to your students.

Wireless mice were also installed on the computers in rooms 501 and 502.

And finally, the Center's Production Room (Room 534) is now equipped with a scanner with an automatic document feeder. This scanner can also scan 35mm slides and transparencies.

The Center's Teaching Laboratory (Library room 532A) and its electronic classrooms (Library rooms 501 and 502) are reserved for faculty who make regular use of multimedia or the network in their courses. There are also limited times that the rooms are available for ad hoc usage.

All faculty members are encouraged to use the Teaching Laboratory and electronic classrooms. We require that you attend at least one classroom orientation so that we can offer some training on how to use the equipment. See the article titled "Electronic Classroom Orientation" for dates and times.
