Zoom Room Basics

Background

During the Fall 2021 semester, most NYU faculty returned to teaching in-person. In response to the pandemic, classrooms have undergone significant technology updates designed to support in-person and hybrid learning scenarios while reducing the technology footprint. 

In the past, each classroom was setup with its own PC, dvd player, VHS player and additional processing equipment (not to mention a large tangle of wires, cables, and extension cords). Zoom Rooms designed to wirelessly support both face-to-face and hybrid teaching modalities, eliminate most of this infrastructure. 

Video Introduction

This video provides a glimpse of the new classroom technology and how faculty may use it for facilitating classroom instruction.  Please note that the work on updating classrooms will continue this year to bring all classrooms to the same standard configuration.
