New Webex Room Kits in Campus Classrooms

While most courses are running virtually this semester, there are some hybrid courses with an on-campus schedule. These classrooms are now equipped with Webex Room Kits which enable instructors to simultaneously teach students in the physical classroom as well as those attending virtually through Webex. As a prime example, the Nursing Program is using this technology with dynamic results. Joan Richards, Director of the Director Nursing Simulation Laboratory, says, “With our simulation classes, we use two roles – active role (participant) and observer role (participant). With this technology we can now provide an incredibly clear, panoramic view captured on the screen and it really brings the observer right into the lab and to the ‘patient’ bedside, unlike what we are able to capture with our current video system, SimView. It reminds me of being at an IMAX movie….almost.”
