Classroom Technology

In order to best support the college, 34 classrooms have permanently installed multi-media equipment racks, lecterns, or Smart Boards. In addition we have 20 fixed mobile carts stationed in other classrooms. All our console, cart, and Smart Board systems are equipped with either a Dell Duo Core PC with MS WinXP or a MiniMac with both MS WinXP and Mac OS; a DVD/VHS player, a sound system and connections for user's laptop. Some classrooms also have Wacom Tablets, Document Cameras, Video conferencing and capturing capabilities. For classrooms without fixed equipment we can provide mobile carts equipped with an LCD projector, a PC, and 30w Sound System for use.

All of our installations utilize wireless Keyboards. All classrooms also have a standard overhead transparency projector and screen (tripod or wall). To find specific information about a room's equipment please view Media Services Resources. The operational manuals for the 4 basic types of classroom configurations are available here in PDF form:
