Though configurations in some classrooms will differ slightly, the majority of registrar-managed* classrooms will feature a consistent experience, including standardized A/V touch control panels, and upgraded classroom computers and audio speakers. These upgrades will provide faculty with the capability, as needed, to:

• Choose whether to present from a classroom computer or from a personal device, such as a laptop or tablet, through a wired or wireless connection;
• Sign into Canvas to access the class’ home base and to start the video or audio meeting;
• Connect teaching tool of choice—Zoom or Microsoft Teams—to the room systems through automatic detection;
• Use a digital whiteboard to help in-person and remote participants visualize concepts and equations;
• Invite all students to participate and join in dialogue and conversation;
• Mute and unmute microphones throughout the room, as needed;
• Provide any student with the ability to present from their personal device wirelessly and remotely; and
• Teach with minimal disruptions and downtimes, through increased staff support and more reliable, remotely-monitored in-room systems.
