The University of Maryland has 217 Technology Classrooms that are equipped to make it easier for faculty to use technology in their classes. These rooms are located throughout the campus and range in size from 20 seats to 500 seats. In addition, several buildings (Armory, Art/Sociology, Holzapfel, Key, Lefrak, Math, Susquehanna, Tydings, and Woods) have AV carts that can be rolled into classrooms that don't have installed technology.
Several buildings with large concentrations of technology classrooms
or carts have a support office
located in the building.
If you want software to be installed on the instructor computer, please fill out the online software request form.
If you want to request training in using a Technology Classroom, please contact:

To help you use the technology, you may download a PDF version of
the AV QuickGuide
or the full Operation
Manual that provides more detailed information of how to use the
technology. You can also get more information on the audio recording
capability available in some classrooms.
If you will be bringing your own equipment (such as a laptop
computer), we encourage you to schedule a time to check it out prior to
your class to insure that everything works appropriately.
Equipment is usually rack-mounted in the instructor desk, AV closet,
and/or projection booth. Closets and booths, as well as some
classrooms, are equipped with card reader locks that operate using the
University ID card. Prior to each semester, the Scheduling Office
provides a list of faculty assigned to teach in the rooms and the locks
are programmed to allow faculty access to the equipment. If
you have TA's who will be needing access, please contact the Scheduling
Office at (301) 314-8243.
Scheduling of Technology Classrooms is handled through the normal
room scheduling procedure established by the campus Scheduling Office.
Faculty who need the special capability available in the Technology
Classrooms, should channel their requests through their usual
department or college room scheduling person.

Under the auspices of the campus' Teaching Facilities Committee, a collaborative effort was established to provide a full range of support services to users of Technology Classrooms. The primary support units involved in the Classroom Support Project are the Office of Information Technology, the Scheduling Office, as well as various colleges and departments. The support program includes:
