Keep Teaching @ Wabash

As we prepare for the return of students to campus, IT Services is committed to supporting a range of in-class and remote teaching methods for the fall semester. 

Classroom Technology and Strategies for Support of Remote Learners

See our online guide to classroom technology and strategies for hyflex instruction and support of remote learners for an overview of technology solutions for a range of teaching styles and needs. 

Classroom Technology Configurations

A summary of available technology by classroom is available here. The summary document was last updated August 11 at 9:40pm.

Training Sessions for General Classroom Technology and Support of Remote Learners 

Aaron Elam, our educational technologist, will provide an overview of new technology available in classrooms to support in-class and remote learners, including the use of Owl Meeting cameras, document cameras, and Zoom. All sessions will be held in Baxter Hall, room 114. If you would like to see the presentations from the viewpoint of a remote student, the sessions will also be streamed over Zoom (Zoom links will be distributed through email).   

Training Sessions for Specialized Classroom Technology 

These overview sessions are intended for faculty teaching in these classrooms this fall (or using for seminars or other purposes), and will focus on using the technology specific to the room – turning the systems on, switching input and output sources, operating the sound systems, lights, and such. Faculty with an interest in learning about hybrid and remote technology sessions are encouraged to also attend one of the general classroom technology and support of remote learners (see schedule below) for information on using Zoom, document cameras, and webcams.

We realize with other obligations related to the start of the semester, these times will not work for everyone. If you are teaching in one of these spaces this fall and the general overview session time will not work for your schedule, please contact the Help Desk (helpdesk@wabash.edu, 765-361-6400) to arrange a one-on-one appointment.

* These four classrooms are essentially identical, so faculty can attend either session. Note that all four classrooms have been upgraded since March, 2020.

Canvas Open Sessions

Aaaron Elam will offer open informational sessions on Canvas via Zoom. There are no set topics for any session, so bring whatever questions you may have about using Canvas in your courses. Zoom links will be distributed via email. 

Equipment Needs

We will do what we can to meet equipment needs to support remote education. If you have equipment needs or requests, please contact the Help Desk for assistance.
