Technology enhanced classrooms at Community College of Philadelphia provide faculty and students a great deal of flexibility and convenience. Available on main campus and Regional Centers our classrooms allow the integration of Technology into traditional lectures at appropriate levels consistent with pedagogical approach.

 

The following three levels (TEC1, TEC2, TEC3) may be reserved by contacting the Scheduler at ext. 8358 or by sending an email to  Bhoward@ccp.edu.

 

A Level 1 (TEC1) classroom provides a data jack in the front of the classroom so faculty may bring a laptop to class and access our network resources. Most faculty will use this to connect to the Internet and also retrieve documents and digital presentations from either a local or a network drive. Every classroom at the College is a Level 1 classroom. Faculty may reserve a laptop computer attached to digital projector through Audio-Visual (A/V) Services to get the most effective use of a Level 1 classroom.

 

A Level 2 (TEC2) classroom provides an electronic wall plate connected to ceiling-mounted digital projector. This allows a faculty member to project any image to enhance their presentation. A VCR or DVD player, laptop computer (either reserved through A/V or a personal unit), or even audio CDs may be used. The laptop computer may also be connected to the data port for Internet connectivity and network resources. Current TEC2 classrooms are: C1-14, 15, 16, and 17; C2-6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 18; NW 202. (C2-15 also includes an instructor’s PC plus 36 student computers.)

 

A Level 3 (TEC3) classroom provides an electronic podium equipped with a VCR, DVD/CD player, document camera, tower computer with flat panel display, and audio amplification system connected to a ceiling-mounted digital projector and wall-mounted stereo speakers all controlled through an easy to use one-button control panel. These rooms allow faculty to completely integrate any number of multimedia elements into their classroom presentations without reserving any external equipment from A/V services. Laptop computers may also be connected (using the cable stored in the podium) to the system through the power and data connections provided on top of the podium. Current TEC3 classrooms are: BR-50; C3-9, 11, 13, 19, and 29; and W2-47; W2-48. TEC3 conference rooms include C2-5; C2-28; C3-5; and S2-3. (M2-32C is also a TEC3 classroom used primarily by Art History.)

 

The following TEC4 / TEC5 classrooms may be reserved by submitting this online form.

 

A Level 4 (TEC4) classroom provides each student with a computer workstation and in-room printing along with an instructor’s PC station. A variety of software titles are available to support instruction with purchase and installation directed by Academic Computing in concert with the various academic departments. NetOp® software with multiple features including the ability for students to view the instructor’s PC in real time is installed in a number of rooms. This offers the instructor the same faculty/student interaction as the podium but without the additional video/audio options. Current TEC4 classrooms are: B2-2, 5, 8, 9, 12, 19, 23, 29, 37, 43; W4-27, 28; NE223, 327, 329, 330; NW112, 113, 114, 142; and WE100, 135. (B2-43 and W4-28 include a ceiling-mounted projector without a full podium. M2-25 and 31 include a ceiling-mounted projector used primarily by Design Technologies and Art.)

 

A Level 5 (TEC5) classroom provides the full podium described above (TEC3) along with individual student computer workstations and in-room printing. Current TEC5 classrooms are: C2-16, 17, and 19; C3-8, 10, 12, 14, 18, and 20.
