SPEC Kit 328: Collaborative Teaching and Learning Tools · 31
board technology is only available for teacher education students of the College of Education.
Most tools are available to all users. Some equipment requires training beforehand, some checkout equipment requires
faculty sign-off (via email), so that use of equipment for class projects take priority.
The headphones are available to anyone. All other tools are only available to university faculty, staff, and students.
The interactive white boards in the commons will be limited to institutional affiliates only—enrolled students, faculty,
and staff.
Video conferencing restricted to staff scheduling and use. Clickers also only used during librarian led sessions.
Video, audio, camera, and scanning equipment limited to faculty and graduate students although another campus unit
located within the library does lend this kind of equipment to undergraduates.
