Classroom Technology

ITS provides the University of Connecticut with classroom technology to deliver a better teaching environment for both students and instructors. Support services include design, installation and maintenance of hi-tech equipment, programming of control systems and touch screen interfaces, imaging, and maintenance of classroom computers and training of faculty and staff on the proper use of AV equipment in the classrooms.

Staff work closely with Facilities Operations, Architects, AV design consultants, AV installers and AV equipment vendors to insure all classrooms live up to University standards.

Audiovisual (AV) Consultation

At the request of a university unit, Academic IT staff are available to consult on the selection and installation of AV equipment. The process involves assessing the unit’s needs, evaluating the space for the installation, recommending a solution, and working with an AV contractor to generate a quote. Although the individual unit are responsible for the implementation and equipment purchase expenses, Academic IT staff will provide project management support during and after the project.

Digital Signage

Leveraging Carousel digital signage management software from Carousel, the digital signage service enables institutional units to control distributed signs from a central location. Digital Signage includes University Communications approved templates and integrates with Microsoft 365, Astra classroom scheduling, Everbridge emergency notifications, and EMS event scheduling.

ITS Academic IT can also assist with selecting displays and players and can coordinate with an approved AV vendor for a quote, scope of work, and installation.
