Classroom Equipment

• Wireless microphone
• Document cameras

• Wacom Cintiq monitors (currently available in Alston classrooms, more coming soon)
• Lecture Capture software (Panopto, Zoom)

We have focused on capturing the audio and video sources that run through the room’s AV system as opposed to capturing video of our faculty and whiteboard. However, it is possible to record faculty images and the whiteboard.

We have 35 classrooms. Each classroom has a wireless microphone, document cameras, webcam, and is ready to use with lecture capture. The microphones capture lecture audio, the webcams can capture the faculty and at times do a decent job with a whiteboard. The document camera can be used to capture images and annotations on pen and paper and in some ways take the place of a whiteboard.

Recording Locations

We recommend faculty record their lectures in available classrooms, but faculty can record in their office or from home locations as well. We suspect that some of our rooms will be underutilized because their capacity will be cut due to social distancing requirements. Our intention is for faculty to be able to use these rooms to record lectures whenever they need. We suggest using these common classroom areas as opposed to outfitting individual faculty offices for this duty.
