Classroom Technology

Most St. Kate’s classrooms are fully equipped as HyFlex classrooms, capable of integrating classroom instruction with online synchronous video sessions. The audio-video equipment, computer, and control panels are set up the same in each classroom so that you will know what to expect and how to use it no matter which classroom you are assigned. To see what technology, features, and/or setup is available in a particular classroom, refer to Look up Classroom Features and Technology KB article. 

This page describes the features of the physical classroom, how to get started using them, and how to get help or training.
