CCIT and Clemson Online are sponsoring in-person classroom technology demonstrations next week in the Cooper Library. Instructors are highly encouraged to attend one of these sessions to gain hands-on experience with new classroom technology before blended classes begin on the 21^st. CCIT and Clemson Online are offering these sessions and asking instructors to make their preparations in advance for using any in-classroom and online technology, as there will not be enough support personnel to allow for in-person support for every classroom across campus during the first weeks of on-campus classes.

Who should attend:

Instructors who did not attend the previous technology open house sessions or instructors who have not yet taught in their assigned classroom for the fall and plan to be on campus during the fall semester.

Sign up here for a session:

Instructors should check the classroom technology database found on the CCIT Website and in the Faculty Resource Center to determine which technology system is found in their assigned classroom for the fall, and plan to attend a session in the room listed below with that technology system.  Sessions will be offered for most time slots (8am-4pm) on both days.

• For Vaddio-equipped classrooms, plan to attend a session in Cooper 200B, 204, or 406A. Sign up for a session in this room here: https://cucourse.app.clemson.edu/it-training/student-index.php?tag=974
