Smart classrooms and smart carts equip faculty with audio and video tools to enrich their lectures with rich media, such as videos, overhead displays, satellite and video conferencing, Internet connections, and more. Smart classrooms are classrooms with computer technologies permanently installed; smart carts are mobile multimedia instructional workstations that can be moved from classroom to classroom, as needed.

Smart Classrooms
Smart classrooms contain video/data projectors, television sets, VCR and DVD players, desktop computers, notebook computer connections (A/V, LAN, and Internet), visualizers, intra-classroom connections, and access to the video distribution hub that allows playback of multiple format videotapes, satellite downlinks, and 16-mm film footage. Currently, Campus Technology Services supports 41 smart classrooms on campus. (Click here for a list of smart classrooms.)

Smart Carts
Smart carts include overhead projectors, VCR and DVD players, desktop computers, and notebook computer connections (A/V, LAN, and Internet).
