Classroom Technology Toolkit
NIU has a multitude of classrooms, conference rooms, labs and study spaces in more than 70 buildings on campus. The technologies in these spaces allow faculty to utilize lecture-capture and two-way collaboration between faculty/instructor and in-person/remote students. This toolkit provides information on how to effectively capture and stream your courses using the technologies available.

Classrooms FAQ
Most classrooms use a controller, such as a touch-screen or button box, to power on the projector. If that isn't working or the room doesn't have one, check for a Podium Control icon on the computer desktop and try to power on the system from there.
You can also try the projector remote control. Look for the brand on the projector (if possible) to find the appropriate remote control.
