SLCC has several video-enhanced classrooms to create lecture recordings or live, online sessions for our students and faculty to better facilitate attending classes remotely when attending in person is not an option. Each of these classrooms have been equipped with both audio and video equipment that is used to assist in recording lectures or for live streaming classes for students that are attending remotely.
Below are the processes for utilizing the High-End Lecture rooms based on 3 possible scenarios:
- Scenario 1: Traditional Lecture
- Scenario 2: Lecture Capture
- Scenario 3: Live Broadcast / Video Conferencing
