Technology Classrooms

Providing technology and consulting services to support classroom teaching, laboratories, and other aspects of the academic program has long been a strategic priority for Lehigh University. Instructional Media Services, working with the TIMS team, provides design and planning support for the technology resources permanently installed in over 85% of Lehigh’s classrooms.  We also are available to assist faculty with the use of these rooms, and, through the Media Center, provide access to portable equipment for use in rooms that do not have fixed technology. 

Wireless mice are available from the Media Center for use in technology classrooms that have computers in the instructor station.  One mouse can be used in multiple classrooms by matching the address to the room.  A list of addresses and instructions can be found here.

Sound systems and podium microphones have been installed in many of our larger technology rooms.  Wireless microphones are available from the Media Center for use in these rooms as well.  One microphone may be used in multiple classrooms by matching frequencies.  A list of classrooms with wireless microphone capability and instructions for changing microphone settings can be found here.

Detailed information about our technology classrooms can be found at http://www.lehigh.edu/classrooms/ .  The Public Computing Site and Classroom Listing link on that page will give you a building by building listing of technology resources.  Instructions can be found here as well.  In addition, laminated instructions are placed at each instructor station. 

We have several basic types of technology classrooms.  We have prepared video introductions to three of these room types:
 
Laptop Ready Rooms are classrooms with a data projector, a VCR or VCR/DVD player and a jack for connection of a user-supplied laptop.  A network connection is also available.

Technology Classrooms are classrooms with a data projector, VCR or VCR/DVD, a PC (with CD/DVD drive), a sound system, and a cable and jack for use with a user-supplied laptop.

Dual Projector Classrooms are equipped and function much like Technology Classrooms; however the 2nd projector enables the instructor to display two different sources at the same time.  These rooms also have document cameras that enable the user to put paper, transparency or even three dimensional objects on the screen.  Some of these rooms are also equipped with a Smart board device that works as a white board and also allows the user to notate over computer programs.  These are somewhat complex rooms, so if you’d like an orientation call the Media Center (83059)

Our auditoriums have all the features of a technology classroom with the addition of a microphone at the podium.  Wireless microphones are also available from the Media Center.

Wireless mice are available from the Media Center for all classrooms with a built-in computer.
