Working with Aura’s partners, we were able to provide a Harvard-style teaching room which features dual projection with side repeater screens, and multiple connections for laptops. It is comprehensively specified with high quality visualiser, microphones, lecture capture, and Digital Media presentation switcher and control system. Multi-modal teaching enhancements include low-level confidence screens for the lecturer, ceiling microphone arrays, a Zoom Room system and additional cameras.
The collaborative learning system installed gives groups the ability to work on a display each, while the lecturer can share content between groups or to the whole room – whether the partitions are open or closed. A lecture capture option pack integrates with Panopto, meaning lectures can be recorded and viewed again later by students. When the partition is open, the space functions as a Zoom Room enabling remote participants to see and hear the collaborative work being done in the space. Aver cameras provide the video feeds, while Shure ceiling microphone arrays capture audio, ensuring excellent visual and sound quality for virtual participants.
