Implementing Better Classroom Technology for Teaching: The Benefits of Transitioning to Dual HD Displays and How We Got There

In an effort to respond to faculty and student requests and to enhance classroom teaching overall, Emmanuel College recently developed and successfully introduced a flexible, dual-screen HD-display-based classroom technology system. This presentation will explore the practical aspects of implementing the change, including how valuable input was gathered from faculty both before and during the implementation, how IT successfully collaborated with A/V contractors to get the project done, the unexpected benefits of the technology outside the classroom, and the role of our new Academic Technology group in providing support to faculty in using technology to enhance their teaching.
