Classroom Technologies

Illinois Tech provides six types of classroom technology levels across the university. Five of the classroom types are designed to allow students to participate synchronously on-line, asynchronously on-line, or both.

The Office of Technology Services supports the presentation technology in over 100 classrooms on IIT’s Mies and Rice Campuses as well as the non-Kent classrooms at the Conviser Law Center and provides design and programming for the Chicago-Kent classrooms. A set of university standards determines the equipment installed in each classroom. Those standards may be found here. Detailed presentation system instructions are provided on the desk/podium. Copies are also available below.

Contact the OTS Support Desk for assistance with any classroom technology.

Instructions

OTS has produced several videos to assist you with utilizing these rooms. We encourage you to review these videos before your class starts.
