These classrooms may be reserved as the regular class meeting place or for individual class sessions. The classrooms are designed to accommodate a variety of technological needs. The installed computers are either PowerMac G3 or Dell Optiplex systems capable of running Mac OS or Windows, respectively. The software found on the computers includes a standard set of applications and Internet software . Instructors may arrange for installation of additional, properly licensed software on classroom computers.
All electronic classrooms have connections to the high-speed campus ethernet network.
The connection allows fast access to data on the campus network and the Internet. For example, instructors may access information on a Columbia University web server, a computer in their office, or from a computer at another university or research center. Instructors may also transfer and execute their own files or programs across the network. AcIS is introducing a new electronic podium, called an ePodium. Learn more about its new features.
