PETE luncheon
“New Facilities to Promote Interactive Lecturing”
Mark Nichols, ATS
11:30 a.m., Jepson G-23
New hardware and software were placed in Jepson G-23 last
summer to transform the room into one that promotes student-faculty
interaction. Join us to understand the new functionalities
in the room and think about how you may be able to take advantage
of them. New functions include the ability for faculty to
annotate their notes during lectures and save them for the class
and for students to annotate faculty notes for their personal
studying. Also, student desktops can be projected to the entire
class very easily. All we are missing is your creative ideas to use
these new functions! Contact Pat Schoknecht (ext. 6689;
pschokne@richmond.edu) to reserve a lunch.
