Module Overview
Many classrooms have been outfitted with multimedia presentation equipment to allow instructors to seamlessly deliver a variety of media-rich course content and to provide the ability to capture that content for later use. The Instructional Technologies program offers a seminar module entitled Using Florida Tech’s Multimedia Classrooms on a regularly-occurring basis to ensure optimal use of our instructional equipment. At the end of the training seminar participants will receive a combination to the instructors’ workstation equipment drawer.
