About Electronic Classrooms

Electronic Classrooms offer a projection system with either a lecturn and computer or a laptop wall-plate connection at the front of an otherwise traditional classroom. Some electronic classrooms may offer additional features such as VCRs, DVDs, or Document Cameras.

Choose the name of a building from the menu on the left to see a list of e-classrooms in that building with information on what equipment is in each room and how to use it.

Instructional Training/Walk-Through

If you are interested in learning how to use the equipment in an e-classroom and would like a walk-through, contact Walter Andrews.

Media Check Out Equipment

The Media Check-Out desk has audio and video equipment for check-out and delivery to classrooms on a one-time, as needed basis, for use in non-electronic classrooms. The number of projectors for this purpose are limited. See the Media page for more information.

New Classrooms

With the completion of the renovations of Thompson Hall, there will be over 100 electronic classrooms on campus for academic year 2008-09.

Additional classrooms are converted each year, depending on funding approvals. Typically, we convert 2 or 3 rooms per year. Contact the office of Associate Dean Alyce A. DeMarais for information about the planning process and priority list for new classroom conversions.

Purchase and Support

Instructional Technology pays for and supports projectors, sound systems, and other audio-video equipment only in officially designated electronic classrooms that are approved by the University and paid for by OIS.

We do not fund or support, fix, replace, or provide temporary replacements of any other projectors or audio visual equipment, such as those on carts or in non-electronic classrooms, paid for by departments, the Dean’s office, or other sources. Their support is the responsibility of the purchaser.

However, if you are purchasing such equipment, we can recommend brands and vendors to use. Contact Walter Andrews for more information.
