Enhanced Support for Hybrid Classrooms

To further improve hybrid teaching in the second semester of 2020/2021, ITSC has upgraded IT facilities in classrooms with additional equipment as follows to enable diversity of teaching pedagogy and to facilitate more interaction with students.

• Dual Monitors with connection arm
  
  • PowerPoint presentations are presented in two-monitor view by default
  • The default setup is to connect Zoom with secondary monitor while the primary monitor is reserved for PowerPoint presentation. Teachers are free to change the default setting.
• Hurion Inspiroy H1161 Writing and Drawing Pad
  
  • Acknowledging the limitation of the visualizer in classrooms, this writing and drawing pad is to replace the visualizer as the writing board for additional information instructors may provide to students.
  • All academic departments are distributed with 3 writing and drawing pads for loan to their teachers. Please contact your Department Office for details of the loan procedure.
  • The writing and drawing pad is connected to Zoom and can be projected to the projection screen in the classroom for clearer presentation of teaching materials to students on Zoom and in the classroom.
  • It is plug and play. No driver is needed.
  • Microphones
    
    • Ceiling microphones are installed in LKK210. Teachers and students are now free to speak in classes without the need of holding any microphone for better interaction with students on Zoom and in the classroom.
    • More wireless handheld microphones will be available for on-loan.
    • The equipment list for supporting hybrid teaching in each classroom is available on this web page: https://www.ln.edu.hk/itsc/services/it-facilities/hybrid-classrooms.
