Connect Classroom Technology & Web Conferencing Applications
These articles are designed to walk you through the basic steps of setting up a standard Elon University classroom for a blended class session using installed technology equipment and web conferencing applications. Detailed step-by-step instructions for each application will show you how to launch a live stream of your class session and, if desired, record the session for later sharing.
Troubleshoot Classroom Technology
Learning spaces on campus should have a web camera with a built-in microphone that may be used with conferencing tools, such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams. Most learning spaces use the Avaya web camera, which is typically mounted from the ceiling. Some spaces use the Vaddio web camera, which is integrated into the Crestron system and mounted to the wall. The One Beyond web camera is used in select locations such as Koenigsberger 127, Lindner 208, and Carlton 221.

Instructor Stations
Most classrooms have instructor stations with Crestron touch-screen panels that control the technology installed in the room, including web cameras, projectors, screens, and inputs (e.g., laptops, document cameras, DVD player).
