Room 304 EB is a flexible, active learning classroom, which enables instructors to display and discuss video games, films, television, and other video media. First priority for full-semester scheduling is given to special use classes from the English Department and the School of Literatures, Cultures, and Linguistics. Classes from other departments will be placed as possible with preference given to classes featuring active learning principles or in need of the instructional technology located in the room.

Displays

Room 304 English offers instructors a resident Windows computer with internal DVD drive connected to a laser projector, which is operated by a push-button control pad. This station also features both an HDMI and VGA + audio port for laptops and other personal devices (cable is provided), a Blu-ray player, and an AppleTV for people with Apple iOS and OX devices that have Airplay - also for Windows/Android users who have installed AirParrot 2 on their device. There is also a gooseneck microphone mounted on the podium for voicelift, with a wireless microphone option as well. Additionally, you can display content from a secondary display source - an instructor station in the other half of the room.

The West wall features dual 82" LCD screens. You can connect devices to them via VGA + audio and HDMI wall plates, or display content to them from the podium itself, or display content from this side of the room to the projector. Of the 3 available HDMI ports, the HDMI 1 input on the LCDs comes from the large wall plate while each LCD has its own dedicated port (input HDMI 2) located on the wall at the lower left corner of the LCD, which displays only to that particular screen.
