Building a 'Smart' Campus
One exceptional feature is the control panel built into each instructor station that allows faculty to regulate every piece of equipment from the projector to the DVD player. Also, my IT team can now easily monitor our networked projectors, turning them on and off from their office, which saves energy costs, reduces lamp replacements, and enables the technology team to use their time more effectively.The NEC/SKF grant has made it possible for us to equip students and faculty with the best technology on the market and serve as an example to other learning institutions. In the near future, UIS hopes to implement further functionality of the equipment such as digital recording and possibly streaming video. Needless to say, current and prospective students are very excited about the university’s continued commitment to providing the latest technology in our classrooms.
Albert Whittenberg is associate director of education technology for the University of Illinois at Springfield.
