All instructional spaces will be equipped with audio-visual (AV) capability that will enable instructors to synchronously broadcast their classes to some or all students, as well as record lectures and meetings for asynchronous viewing.

Check the Classroom Tech Guide to find the classroom(s) where you will be teaching, the adjusted seating capacity, AV room model and capabilities, and other details.

Microphones have been installed so that the equipment will capture the instructor’s voice while minimizing their need to touch the mic. 

The University has installed five types of microphones in classrooms, depending on technical feasibility and the spaces’ size and layout.

• Ceiling Microphones: Chandelier microphones can capture audio in a 10-foot radius, enabling better range of movement for the instructor. About 28 classrooms will have this set up. 
   

• Lectern Goosenecks: Lectern-mounted microphones require the instructor to stand at the lectern for best audio quality. About 19 classrooms will have this set up. 
   

• Lectern Boundaries: A plate microphone placed on the lectern captures audio in a 6- to 8-foot radius, enabling a bit more range of movement for the instructor. About 88 classrooms will have this set up. 
   

• Web Cameras: Microphones that are integrated into web cameras, which are mounted on the lectern monitor, require the instructor to stand at the lectern for best audio quality. About 53 classrooms will have this set up. 

Some rooms will have multiple types of microphones — for example, a web cam plus a lectern boundary.
