Instructors are discovering that using a computer to project notes and images during a class offers many advantages over the traditional overhead transparency technique. Materials can be displayed from the application in which they were created, without the need to print transparencies. Using a computer as image source produces color images of high quality that are easier to manipulate, and is a highly effective way of displaying material from web sites.
A number of Yale classrooms now have built-in projection facilities, and many more can accommodate portable projectors that can be supplied by Yale's Audio Visual Services. A high percentage of Yale's classrooms also have network connections conveniently located at the front of the room for instructor use.
Instructors who would like to make use of classroom projection should contact the Registrar's office to reserve a projection-ready classroom. Several Yale classrooms have computers built in, but in most locations instructors will need to bring a laptop computer. Academic Computing Services has a limited number of network- and projection-ready laptops for loan to faculty who have classroom projection requirements, and can assist instructors in all aspects of classroom projection technology. Contact Gloria Hardman in Academic Computing Services for more information.
