-Don’t forget your dry erase marker(s)
Whiteboards are available in all instructional areas of Jamrich, but you will need to supply your own dry erase markers. Make sure the marker you use is not PERMANENT! Feel free to stop by the Center for Teaching and Learning’s faculty lab (LRC 128) to grab your FREE CTL dry erase marker while supplies last.
-Height adjustable teacher stations and stools
There is a lever underneath the part of the teacher station that has a black colored edge on three sides which allows for the table to be raised / lowered. The instructor stool also has a lever for height adjustment.
-Mini displayport cables and adaptors
If you use your “Twist” Lenovo laptop in Jamrich, there is a dedicated mini displayport cable in the room labeled “LAPTOP” so no adaptor is necessary. If you also teach in other buildings, you will need to bring a mini DisplayPort adaptor with you to class. Mini displayport adaptors are available from Micro Repair. If you forget to bring your adaptor to class, you may phone our classroom support line (x2290) and we will run over a “loaner” adaptor. Loaners must be returned within 3 days.
-AVer document cameras at student tables in Enhanced Active Learning classrooms
AVer document cameras at teacher stations are hard-wired into the system but the document cameras at student tables in the three Enhanced Active Learning classrooms can only be projected while connected to a student’s laptop using “WePresent” wireless software and “A+ Suite” software. Both can be downloaded from download.nmu.edu. Please contact IDT Classroom Support for personal assistance.
-Interactive Displays in lecture halls and Enhanced Active Learning classrooms
Interactive displays are only installed in the three lecture halls on the main floor and the three enhanced active learning classrooms on the third floor.
a. Annotations: (think John Madden play by play recap) In order for the annotations to work, you will need to install software called “Sankore” available from the IDT website as well as a stylus pen (available through the Center for Teaching and Learning) and from the IDT Classroom Support Main Office.
b. PowerPoint: the interactive display is great for projecting your laptop in EXTEND mode. It enables you to see what the students are seeing while viewing your PowerPoint notes and many slides at a glance.
-WePresent software/hardware for wireless connections to televisions and projectors
WePresent is a wireless system recommended for students who do not have access to the fixed cables at the teacher station. PLEASE NOTE: WePresent will not work through WiMAX, only WiFi.
-Electronic Class Cancelations for Jamrich flight boards
Very soon, the electronic class cancelations will be up and running on the flight boards. Until then, you may continue to contact IDT Classroom Support and we will make sure a printed cancelation gets put up at your classroom.
