Smart Classrooms

CTS manages and operates the Smart Classrooms that are located throughout the campus. There are currently 18 Smart Classrooms, and we are working toward making every classroom a "Smart Classroom". CTS is working with the faculty Instructional Technology Advisory Committee on another significant round of classroom technology upgrades for 2007-08.

The term "Smart Classroom" is a somewhat generic phrase that can mean many differenrt things. To date, the 18 Smart Classrooms in existance already have been equipped with a podium, computer, data projector, Wireless Ethernet, and a TV/DVD/VCR.

Videoconferencing

CTS has a portable Tandberg H.323 IP Videoconferencing unit that can be used to connect to up to four simultaneous locations. This unit is ideal for conference room or seminar-style classes. Call CTS at x6465 for further information.

We can also help you to bring a single "Expert" guest into your class remotely using Skype video calling, a low-end IP-telephone/videoconferencing system that can be used by anyone with a webcam and an internet connection.  Don't have a webcam? we can loan you one.

Webcasting

CTS has a Vbrik real-time video encoder and a streaming video server that can be used to broadcast a performance or event live on the Internet. Beginning September 2007 College Council meetings will be webcast and archived fro future viewing. If you are interested in webcasting your event so that others outside of the college can see it, we can provide the cameras, technicians and services to make it happen for you. Call CTS at x6465 for further information.
