We support over 400 technology enhanced auditoriums, lecture halls, classrooms, laboratories, and meeting rooms throughout campus. 

We meet with faculty by appointment, to talk through their needs, and develop a plan for using instructional technology to meet their objectives. Please contact us at instructionaltech@csuohio.edu to schedule an appointment with our specialists. 

We've also developed a series of informational videos to help you navigate teaching in technology enhanced classrooms.  They are designed to help you discover which technologies best suit your instructional needs.

What kinds of technology are in our classrooms?

This video will guide you through turning on the equipment in the room, choosing which technology is displayed through the projector (including hand-written content), and deciding whether you will use the PC in the room or connect a personal device, such as a laptop to the system.

(Recommended) How do I record my class sessions for sharing asynchronously with my students?

Panopto

Panopto is Cleveland State's lecture capture tool and can be used to record content for sharing with students at a later time.  

The Center for eLearning provides detailed instructions for using Panopto. Their print and video guides are particularly helpful for those teaching from their laptops but have yet to install and launch it on their own device.

Getting Started with Panopto - print guide

Panopto is installed on all PCs in technology enhanced classrooms. Using Panopto from the classroom PC allows instructors to incorporate additional room technologies such as the document camera and Smart monitor into their recording. To learn more about launching Panopto from a classroom PC, please watch the following video.

If needed, how can I connect remote participants synchronously to my classroom?

There are a number of applications that will allow you to do this. This section will feature three supplied by the University.
