Back in April of this year, IT announced the designation of Taylor 210 as a classroom technology demo room. The demo room is intended to provide faculty members and instructional technologists with opportunities to experiment with and to evaluate classroom technologies in a classroom setting. The technologies installed in the demo room will change on a regular basis. The experimentation and evaluation that is conducted here will help the College to determine which technologies are effective in our learning environments, and consequently, which should be deployed in our classrooms.

IT recently installed a model 600i SMARTboard in the demo room. The SMARTboard joins the sympodium already located there. Plans call for the future installation of a ceiling mounted document camera and an audio capture system.

Further information on the demo classroom will be available at the beginning of the new academic year.
