University-managed classrooms are equipped with touch-panel controls, projectors, cameras, microphones, PCs with DVD players, wireless internet, and laptop connections.  Cameras and microphones are connected to the room PC to facilitate streaming.  In addition, some rooms are equipped with other hardware including region-free DVD players, interactive smart boards, tossable wireless microphones, and wireless presentation capability.

Training on Classroom Multimedia Systems

Classroom Availability for Practice

We encourage faculty to visit their classrooms before the start of the semester and take an opportunity to practice using the equipment in the room.  Although most of our classrooms are unoccupied 1 to 2 weeks prior to the start of a semester, we highly recommend that you check with the Office of the University Registrar (OUR) to ensure availability of your classroom at your desired practice time.  You may contact the OUR by email at pooledclassrooms@wustl.edu or by phone at (314) 935-5959.

Latest Multimedia Equipment

The CTL researches and pilots new technologies to determine efficacy for use in the classroom environment.  Most recently, we have added cameras and capture microphones to the majority of our rooms to facilitate lecture streaming and capture, and we have added Catchbox throwable microphones to our auditoriums to facilitate voice capture of students in our larger rooms.  We are also in the process of implementing wireless laptop presentation throughout our classrooms.
