Using an innovative suite of connected-classroom technologies, these extended classrooms allow students and professors to take part in active learning sessions, complete group projects and interact across extended classrooms, in real time, while at different campus locations. Each extended classroom is equipped with:
- Live video, audio and display screens enable students to hear, see and fully participate in relevant, timely discussions and problem-solving activities.
- Widescreen HD monitors and picture-in-picture views deliver visual perspective, allowing students in both locations to explore new ideas together.
- Interactive whiteboards feature two-way sharing to bring data, notes and dynamic case studies to life in both classrooms.
- Wireless content sharing allows professors and students to send images, files and documents from their own devices to display screens in both classrooms.
- Voice-activated motion cameras automatically follow the conversation, while facial recognition software helps the cameras identify who is speaking. Students see classmates as clearly as if they were in the same room.
- Special projection cameras capture images of materials placed below it, including 3-D objects, for live display on the extended classrooms’ whiteboards.
