Smart and Electronic Classrooms put technology within your easy reach. These rooms make the learning experience more enjoyable for both faculty and students. In them, faculty can project many types of images onto a large screen. For instance,

• you can project a computer image: an Internet Web site, Blackboard page, PowerPoint presentation, digitally scanned slides or any other computer document, file or program.
• you can project an image from your laptop computer.
• you can play a DVD or VHS videotape.
• if your room contains a document camera, you can project an image from a book, paper, transparency or three-dimensional object.

Over fifty percent of all classrooms on campus have permanently installed equipment.  Faculty members may request an electronic classroom when their courses require them to use large amounts of video, computer or Internet access on a regular basis.  See your department chair if you are interested in teaching in an electronic classroom.
