Classroom Technology

Classrooms at Illinois State are fitted with webcams and microphones. These technologies allow instructors to record lectures and conduct hybrid or hyflex class sessions, as appropriate to the designated modality of their course.

The computers at all classroom instructor stations have webcams, document cameras connected to the computer, and Zoom installed. To request additional technologies, such as a wide-angle camera or wireless microphone for large spaces, please fill out the Learning Spaces Classroom Technology Installation Request form.

Zoom Meetings in Hybrid Classrooms

This video demonstrates what instructors, students in the classroom, and students attending class remotely can expect to see.

Standard Classroom Setup

Most classrooms feature a fixed webcam/microphone at the instructor station. This option eliminates the need to constantly disinfect handheld or lavalier microphones.

In addition, all classrooms have a document camera tied into the instructor station computer, allowing it to be selected in Zoom.
