Media Technology & Production - Room Technology Support

Below are links to training for both the SMART Boards that are installed in our auditoriums and the Audience Response System used for real time audience polling.


Once you feel comfortable with these technologies, feel free to choose another from the menu.

 

Many of the auditoriums and other rooms around campus and in SCTR are equipped with a SMART Board from SMART Technologies.

These are podium monitors that allow the presenter to draw directly onto his/her slide presentation, eliminating the need for a laser pointer and allowing for annotations and corrections to be made in real time

Turning Point from Turning Technologgies allows presenters to build presentations with interactive slides where the presenter can poll the audience and immediately show the results on a slide as a bar, pie, or other type of chart, complete with stats. Turning Point 'clickers'. like the one pictured here, can be rented from the MTP office.

NOTE: Not every PowerPoint presentation can generate results like this. The presentation must be designed ahead of time to take advantage of Turning Point.
