SPEAKER: Welcome to the CETS virtual classroom tour.
The purpose of this video is to show Zoom rooms
and the upgrades made to the general purpose classrooms
for the spring 2021 classes.
Hyflex means teaching to students in person
and online at the same time, or synchronously.
Main campus classrooms have been upgraded to assist faculty
with HyFlex teaching.
When students return to in-person classes
for synchronous instruction, they
will have to follow social distancing guidelines.
The general purpose classrooms have
been upgraded with video cameras in the front
and rear of the classrooms, along with microphones
to pick up student voices and a wireless microphone
for instructors.
This allows multiple remote students
to participate in live, in-person classes via Zoom
and general purpose classrooms from remote locations.
There are now two displays on the desktop
of every general purpose classroom.
The primary display is the one that
has always been there showing the desktop of the resident PC.
The new secondary display on the left
will show the images of any remote students
in Zoom, while the instructional content is presented
on the primary display.
This broadens the students interaction
with their fellow students and professors
regardless of their location.
The Zoom room application has been
added to large displays in 10 general purpose classrooms
to allow faculty and staff to launch Zoom meetings more
easily.
The Zoom room display is an alternate display
of remote Zoom participants.
It can display and allow annotation
of instructional content.
An additional display is located on the back wall
or on the podium to interact with the remote audience
in the Zoom meeting.
This provides an integrated experience
for audio conferencing, wireless screen sharing,
and video conferencing.
These classroom upgrades were designed in consultation
with CETS, Candles, and UIS.
For more information, please contact CETS via the CETS Zoom
helpdesk.
