Faculty and students were complaining about the state of classrooms and the lack of state-of-the-art technology on the seven campuses within the University of Maine System. Faculty had problems teaching classes with technology or had given up on using technology altogether and were not able to teach in current modalities. Many of the students arriving on the campuses had used more up-to-date technology than was found in the university’s classrooms. The presenters will discuss the trend of web conferencing in classrooms, highlighting the solutions they explored in both hardware and software, and how the final selection was implemented. You will also hear how they developed standards for classroom consistency in these spaces that allow for innovation and different teaching styles.
