Classrooms at Illinois State are fitted with webcams and microphones. These technologies allow instructors to record lectures and conduct hybrid or hyflex class sessions, as appropriate to the designated modality of their course.
The computers at all classroom instructor stations have webcams, document cameras connected to the computer, and Zoom installed. To request additional technologies, such as a wide-angle camera or wireless microphone for large spaces, please fill out the Learning Spaces Classroom Technology Installation Request form.

In addition, all classrooms have a document camera tied into the instructor station computer, allowing it to be selected in Zoom.
