The college is committed to the safety and well-being of students and faculty in classroom spaces.  Over the summer, CLAS Technology Services staff deployed technology enhancements in over 100 locally controlled instructional spaces as designated by Department Admins and local IT Consultants.  The equipment was intentionally matched to the same gear being deployed in 280 University Classroom (UCR) spaces.  Matching gear helps ensure continuity of experience and facilitates training and support functions.

A detailed, printable, guide to the new technology can be found here https://teach.uiowa.edu/sites/teach.uiowa.edu/files/wysiwyg_uploads/university_classroom_-_capturing_video_and_audio_-_v.1.pdf.  Although furniture and classroom layouts may vary, the general operation should remain consistent from room to room.

A broad overview of the classroom experience, including videos, may be found here https://classrooms.uiowa.edu/covid-19-classroom-experience.
