New Classroom Technology
North Park Theological Seminary recently utilized funding from the Lilly Endowment鈥檚 Pathways for Tomorrow Initiative to equip three classrooms as a Microsoft Teams Room.
In doing so, these classrooms are now smart meeting rooms designed for inclusive collaboration, where everyone can fully participate. Remote learners can see the entire classroom, and a 360-degree camera dials in directly to who鈥檚 speaking, meaning that regardless of where a student is, they feel part of the physical classroom.
Further, now that all campus and distance learners in the seminary are part of a cohort, this technology makes the learning experience more effective.
