Thanks for commenting on the post.

As far as I know, LIS does not choose or install the chalk boards so I’m afraid I can’t provide an answer why the low tech stuff was not addressed. I’m sure there were good reasons why we were asked to install the technology in MBH 309, 405 and 467.

Sincerely,
Petar

Add to that, the fact that boards are only cleaned every other day, again for cost reasons. How about seeing that the low tech stuff gets fixed first?

(LIS) Bi Hall 309, 405, and 467 are now full-fledged smart classrooms. I do have to wonder, though: would better coordination of course locations be more efficient than building new smart classrooms? I’ve had completely tech-free courses in completely hi-tech rooms. [...]

Courtesy of Hitachi (they did a decent job at introducing the board and its features).

You’ll have to do a show and tell for us so we can see all the features of our particular smart boards. My memory is a little foggy about what you can do with them because I’ve seen various things over the years and I imagine things have evolved since.

Thanks for the pointer to the docs, too. It’s added to my “watch” list. Recommend other liaisons do the same.
