Technology Classroom Orientations

Overview

Faculty can request an orientation for any Technology Classroom. In an orientation, the instructor will be familiarized with the technology in the room so that they may use it to its fullest potential. Whenever possible, the orientation will be done in the room to which the instructor is scheduled, allowing for hands-on training with the actual equipment that they will be using.

Requesting an Orientation

NOTE: Please make your request at least 48 hours in advance of the requested time. Due to the scheduling of these rooms, it is often not possible to meet for an orientation on short notice.
