Dual-Mode Classroom Technologies

As you prepare to teach it is important to consider the technologies that are present to facilitate interaction among you, in-person students, and remote students. The Dual-Mode Classroom Technologies page includes an overview of the technology (including a video of a demo room in action), information about how you can learn to use the dual-mode technology, and when you will be able to access your classrooms. For a quick reference on how to use the technology in your classroom, see the Getting Started with Classroom Technology guide.
