Technology Classrooms

UW-L's Classroom Technology is managed by the ITS staff in Educational Technologies and Technology Support Services.
 
Educational Technologies works with faculty to identify instructional technology needs and develop methods to implement into existing or proposed classroom/lecture halls on campus. Attention is focused on creating an effective teaching environment instead of simply incorporating "new" systems into a space without considering accepted design criteria. The instructional technology may include video/computer large screen presentation devices, audio playback/recording systems, student response systems, two way video communication systems or presentation and room environmental system remote controls.  For information on instructional technologies and classroom design, contact:
