Gornto Hall Classrooms
Based on faculty feedback and from attendance at several AV technology conferences and conventions, Digital Learning is researching and testing the latest technology offerings for online higher education.
As part of these efforts, we will be renovating the Gornto Hall second floor classrooms. Some classrooms will become adaptable studio environments that will be fully customizable to your needs. Whether you wish to stand, sit, or move around the room, our new flexible learning spaces will be able to accommodate your preferred teaching style.
Our classrooms will be more than just rooms with monitors and cameras. We plan to offer:
- Dedicated demonstration spaces with the ability to capture objects from multiple angles
- AR/VR/XR environments
- Transparent e-glass annotation boards
- Enhanced video conferencing platforms that more closely resemble a real in-classroom collaborative experience for online learners
- And so much more
When you teach from one of our new state-of-the-art Gornto classrooms, you will receive white glove, dedicated technical assistance from our staff of digital experts. They will take care of the technology behind the scenes, allowing you to concentrate on teaching.
New Classroom Mic Array
This ceiling microphone array from Cisco is currently being used in one of the Gornto classrooms. Students and instructors are heard no matter where they stand or sit in the room with this single microphone. Since it is mounted to the ceiling, tabletop microphones no longer impede the ability to fully customize the arrangement of the classroom desks.
