Classrooms & Technology
Learn the Technology
We want you to feel confident using the technology in your space. TCU has a common standard setup in most classrooms, which this Classroom Technology Guide will walk you through the basics of using what is likely in your space.
If you would like to schedule a Classroom Orientation to practice or see your space, please contact the IT Help Desk with your availability, and the CIS team will check the room's schedule to find a time for your orientation.
This video covers managing and using the Crestron control system that we have in most of the classrooms across campus. If your room looks a-little different, don’t worry as most of the concepts apply across all spaces with a control panel.
Always turn the system off when you are done with the space and leave all remotes, keyboards and clickers behind.
Airmedia is a fantastic tool that allows you to wirelessly broadcast your screen from a laptop or mobile device up to the projection surface. All you have to do is visit www.tcu.edu/airmedia to download the software and watch the video about how to connect to the system.
You can use AirMedia to project information up to the screen in the room and then share your screen via Zoom for your offsite students.
We have two types of document cameras in the classrooms. We use the Epson DC-21 and the Wolfvision VZ-8Light4. Both units and very easy to use and are very similar in terms of functionality. Generally all you have to do is select the document camera option on the Crestron control panel and turn the document camera on.
