Classroom Technology Support - Equipment and Software
Classroom Technology Support equipment is available in slightly varied configurations across the campus. Please see the Room List and Details page for information about standard equipment at each location. CTS is only able to provide the following additional equipment:
- Audience Response System (ARS) - remote polling via handsets and a formatted PowerPoint presentation
- Wired or Wireless Clickers
- Laptops - Windows XP or Macintosh OS X
- Lavaliere - Wireless
- Microphones - Wired or Wireless

Podcast Recording is also available. All special equipment listed here must be requested via the Resource 25 WebViewer form. It is not necessary to request any equipment that is already standard in the room.
There are currently no fees for reserving and using equipment provided by Classroom Technology Support, however all rooms booked are reported back to Columbia Finance for charge back to departments. We ask that you please do not make unnecessary requests.
We are continuing to upgrade and standardize all locations so that faculty, instructors and presenters can become easily familiar with the equipment in any room. Please see our Room List and Details page for current information.
