Smart Classroom Equipment

Western Oregon University has approximately 95 Smart Classrooms and Smart Classroom computer labs, supported by Classroom Support in the University Computing Services department. Smart Classrooms are technology enhanced classrooms, which allow faculty to easily present dynamic multimedia content to their students. These rooms allow an instructor to walk into the room, log into the networked computer, select how they would like to present their content using the touch panel, and project this onto the large projection screen(s). Full time staff are on call to quickly provide knowledgeable assistance to faculty and staff should they experience equipment or network issues.
