Distance Learning Room

Each Distance Education Room allows students at any Pitt campus, the opportunity to attend certain off-campus classes which they would not normally be able to attend. Professors teach the class at one site, while students at another site can interact as if they were in the same class.

Room setups include:

A technician operates cameras from a station in the back of the room. A camera located in the back of the room displays the professor, while a camera in the front of the room to displays the students. Overhead microphones allow students to participate in discussions without the need to press a button or be hooked up to a microphone.

A projector provides a duplicated view of the professors computer, along with two 35 inch or bigger monitors to display the far site instructor and students, and provide the Bradford students a look at themselves. A multimedia station, computer and DVD player are available to record class sessions, or to play videos during class.
