ATI Classroom Technologies
By offering technical support and new advancements, ATI Classroom Technologies stands to enhance the quality CSUSB student’s experience within the classroom. More commonly seen with the upkeep and maintenance of the classroom’s projection systems, ATI-CT expands their knowledge by being able to work with various operating systems and equipment that’s both new and old. Currently, over 200 classrooms are serviced within CSUSB utilizing a vast set of technology from VCR’s to Overhead Projectors and ultimately to High Definition projection.
Video Switches
As seen in many of the colleges in CSUSB, the move to HD projection is growing more standardized with the inclusion of new video switches. No longer is tedious hardwiring needed to switch between projected devices and all can now be done within one control panel. The control panels themselves have been built to ensure easy operation for any faculty member that might be unfamiliar to this new technology. These new switches also have the benefit of being run with new cabling. CAT5/CAT6 cables now run through the new video switches, essentially improving the devices range and image quality.
Goals
Currently, the goal for ATI-CL is to upgrade older classrooms in the move from analog to digital technology. Along with the campus-wide upgrade, the idea of creating a universal workplace would be beneficial to not only future faculty but students as well. What this involves is creating a standardization of classroom devices which would work with student’s portable technology in a seamless fashion. Currently, Microsoft office and Apple remain the norms for academic software yet conflicts arise when attempting to incorporating these together. Eventually, ATI-CL hopes to be able to elaborate on alternative methods to make student and campus technology universal and seamless to operate. Whether this is seen with new academic software or projection devices or monitors, the fact remains the notion to make campus technology the same for all will only benefit all.
Along with the new video switches, ATI Classroom Technologies has improved upon classes with:
- Brighter Projectors, higher lumens and less glare.
- New document cameras.
- Portable scanners and projectors.
- Classroom customization – Apple TV.
