The thirteen rooms are equipped with video conferencing equipment, cameras, multimedia teaching podiums and tech support stations. Five studios are used exclusively for high school course delivery. Three studios in the Gerber School of Education are used to train undergraduate education majors and to deliver outreach activities to K-12 schools. Three large studios in the MeWaldt-Jensen building and one in the Williams library support the on-campus and distance delivery of undergraduate and graduate level e-learning courses.
