An experiment in advanced digital projection will take place this Fall when art history instructors use new dual projectors to show side-by-side digital images to their students.
Classroom Technology Services will be installing dual projectors in Art Building 204 and 217 this summer, and Mediaworks has been preparing instructors for the new system by helping them digitize their slides.
Now, when Professor XYZ wants his students to compare two examples of Gothic architecture, he will be able to project them side-by-side rather than flipping back and forth between the images or simultaneously managing a laptop and a slide projector.
The existing media cabinets in these classrooms will remain in place, so others using the classrooms can still employ the more familiar system.
