00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:12.000
Hello, my name is Nathan Sauer and I'm a classroom services technician here at Western Oregon University

00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:19.000
In this video I'd like to introduce you to the technology we have in our smart classrooms here at WOU

00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:22.000
and give you a brief overview of how to effectively use them

00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:27.000
first let's look at what kinds of equipment and technology are available

00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:30.000
in a WOU smart classroom

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:33.000
currently we have almost 100 smartclassrooms

00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:38.000
including smaller single projector classrooms, dual projector classrooms and auditoriums

00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:42.000
along with Mac, PC, and thin client, computer labs

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:46.000
every smart classroom has a network touch panel and a control system, 

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:50.000
a high definition document camera a console computer

00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:54.000
an AV interface to plug in a laptop, camcorder, or other multimedia device

00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:61.000
a dvd/bluray player and a high quality 2 channel or multi channel surround audio system.

00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:07.000
some of our larger auditorium smart classrooms also have IP video conferencing systems

00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:14.000
every smart classroom has its own phone, so fast technical support is available by calling the UCS service request line.

00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:19.000
now lets take a few minutes to talk about how these systems function

00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:25.000
the touch panel is the main controller for each smart classroom

00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:29.000
touch it again to get to the security screen

00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:33.000
enter the passcode and choose what you would like to display

00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:40.000
let's say you'd like to display something on the center camera from the document screen

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:44.000
select the document camera as the projector one source

00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:50.000
this will turn the document camera on, turn the projector on, and switch the projector to that source

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:55.000
because this room has electric screens each screen automatically drops into place

00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:59.000
to display the computer on the other screen, 

00:01:59.000 --> 00:01:62.000
select the computer button as the projector two source

00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:06.000
make sure the computer is turned on and not in standby mode

00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:11.000
log into the computer with your WOU username and password

00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:14.000
now you're ready to present content from the computer

00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:18.000
to have sound from the computerm select computer as your audio source

00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:24.000
this will automatically turn on the amplifier, switch the computer and switch the volume to a default low level

00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:28.000
just in case someone using the system before you turned up the volume

00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:34.000
using the touch screen you can easily adjust the volume or mute the audio completely

00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:38.000
our smart classroom systems are designed so you'll have a lot of flexibility

00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:41.000
in how you're able to display content for your students.

00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:48.000
for exmple, if you want to switch the content on the screens, just press the button of the source you'd like to display on that projector

00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:52.000
if you want the document camera to display on the other screen,

00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:55.000
select that as the source on projector two.

00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:61.000
or if you'd like the computer displayed on both screens, press the computer button as the source on both projectors.

00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:08.000
showing a bluray or DVD is just as easy, chose which projector you'd like to show your video on

00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:13.000
I'm going to select projector one, so I will press the bluray button under projector one.

00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:18.000
you'll notice the audio automatically switches to bluray as its source source

00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:22.000
and you'll see the transport controls pop up on the touch panel

00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:28.000
press the eject button, put your bluray or DVD into the bluray player and select play.

00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:32.000
if you're preparing for class and turn the projectors on

00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:37.000
but you don't want to display the video yet, press the blank screen button to display a black screen.

00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:42.000
this allows you to quickly play the video and not wait for the projector to warm up

00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:47.000
when you're finished using the system make sure to log off of the computer.

00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:56.000
then press the all off button on the bottom of the touch panel, this will turn all the components of the system off.

00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:59.000
and raise the screens

00:03:59.000 --> 00:03:65.000
