About IVDL Classrooms
CaTS converted several classrooms around campus to integrate new distance learning equipment. This allows Faculty members to teach a class at either Dayton or Lake Campus and include students from other off-site locations. IVDL is essentially videoconferencing in a classroom setting. IVDL connects two or more classrooms with audio and video equipment that enables participants to see and talk with each other, almost as if they were in the same room. So students in a classroom at Wright State's main campus may be joined by students at Lake Campus and Central State University.

Getting Started
When an instructor walks into the room, the first step is using the Cisco control panel to choose which room they want to connect to. Once the instructor begins talking, a camera will focus on and/or follow the instructor around the room using facial recognition. Two additional cameras can also work in tandem to zoom in on audience members as they are talking.
Scheduling and Training
If you plan on incorporating distance learning in your class, CaTS is happy to provide you with training on this new equipment. To schedule a training session, please submit the Classroom Training Request.
