Technology in the Classroom

undefined

 

 

 

 

 

 

All centrally-scheduled classrooms are equipped with technology that includes most commonly requested audiovisual and computer equipment. These systems are primarily Windows 7-based machines supported by Information Technology staff and are equipped with College standard applications and utilities.

Faculty members can login to the instructor station using their Stonehill account. Support for the technology in the classrooms is handled through the IT Help Desk, (508) 565-HELP

There are 3 different control configurations in our classrooms:

All classroom computers are imaged with standard classroom software as follows:

  • MS Office 2010 suite: Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, Access, Publisher, and Picture Manager
  • DVD software (Intervideo WinDVD and Roxio DVD/CD creator), if you want to run DVDs on the computer rather than on the DVD player
  • Adobe Acrobat Reader version X
  • MS Picture and Fax Viewer should be preset to display all image files-- .jpg, .gif, .png, and .tiff
  • Media playing software: Windows Media Player, Quicktime, Realplayer, Front Page, and Movie Maker
  • The Turning Technologies software (aka Classroom Clickers, or student response system).
  • SPSS Statistical Software version 18
  • JMP version 9

Standard Classroom Equipment Includes:

  • A video projector and screen (The native resolution for most projectors is 1024 x 768)
  • A combination DVD and VCR player, an audio mixer/control, a PC computer, and connections for a laptop computer to connect to the Internet and project audio & video to the screen.
  • A switch box to switch between the desktop/laptop (and document camera where available).
  • A document camera or an overhead projector.

Classrooms with Crestron Control Systems

All of the classrooms and labs in the Shields Science Center use Crestron Control Systems. These are wall mounted panels you can use to operate the video projector, select the input for the projector, and control the volume. The projector screen is controlled by a switch on the wall located near the Crestron Control panel.

Please refer to the documentation below for step by step instruction and note that these instructions are also available in each classroom.

Classrooms with Extron Control Systems

Many of our classrooms are equipped with Extron Control Systems. These come in the form of wall mounted panels, control panels on the podium and control boxes within the podium. Each Extron Control System allows you to operate the video projector, select the input for the projector, and control the volume. Projector screen control is also possible in the Merkert Tracy Training Room & room 328, Duffy 118, 120, 216 & 220, and in Student Union 108.
