\"Example<\/a>UVM’s General Purpose and Departmental classrooms are outfitted with a common set of equipment and software, enabling UVM faculty to effectively teach.<\/p>\n

While there are some differences between campus classrooms – in general – you’ll find a computer, projector, webcam (for remote teaching and recording), and a dedicated or webcam-integrated microphone. Many rooms will also come equipped with a pen display, which can be used as a virtual whiteboard for remote or hybrid teaching modalities.<\/p>\n

UVM Classroom Technology Services<\/a> regularly updates our General Purpose campus classrooms – if you are teaching in a GP room, consider going in early and familiarizing yourself with the available equipment.<\/p>\n

\r\n \t\t\t\t\tThe Classroom Lookup guides are intended to get you up and running in the classroom, but they might not answer every question you have about these rooms.<\/p>\n

UVM Classroom Technology Services<\/a> may be able to offer advanced training. It may not be possible to offer direct training during the start of the semester or other peak times. Reach out early!<\/p>\n

Articles for General Purpose (GP) Classrooms will have a few consistent sections:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. An intro listing which equipment to expect.<\/li>\n
  2. One or more sections outlining how to use the control panels.<\/li>\n
  3. An “Other Equipment” section for help with peripherals like microphones.<\/li>\n
  4. An “Additional Info” section with contact info for the Tech Team.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Classroom Computers<\/h2>\n

    All General Purpose (GP) classrooms are equipped with a Windows 11 presenter station computer. To host a remote lecture, this computer must be used to join and record Teams meetings.<\/p>\n

    The presenter station computer will provide you with access to Microsoft Teams, a webcam and microphone, allow you to use a pen display for writing and sharing OneNote notes or virtual whiteboards, as well as the ability to share the document camera video feed with both in person and remote students.<\/p>\n \t\t

    \r\n \t\t\tUsing a personal computer?<\/span> \t\t\t \t\t\t\t

    \r\n \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

    There are a lot of valid reasons for wanting to use your laptop for teaching. However, if you are hosting a hybrid or remote lecture, you must use the classroom computer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Fortunately, Teams allows you to log into multiple computers<\/strong> using the same account<\/strong> simultaneously. Join the Teams meeting on your laptop and share content with the meeting – no cable required. Meanwhile, join the meeting through the presenter station’s Teams client to display your content to the room.<\/p>\n
