Smart Classrooms

What are "smart" classrooms?

Technology-enhanced, or "smart", classrooms are learning spaces which have integrated technology for use in pedagogy. The typical smart classroom has a computer, projector, projection screen, DVD / VHS player, sound system, and podium with AV controls and laptop connections. Some specialized classrooms have document cameras, smartboards, and other equipment relevant to the coursework or discipline being taught in the space. ITS works with faculty, departments, and vendors to provide classroom technologies that are functional, dependable, easy to use, and consistent across the entire UNC Asheville campus.

ITS provides technical support and management for approximately 110 smart classrooms across the UNC Asheville campus. Please contact the ITS Help Desk for technical assistance with a smart classroom. For after-hours technical support (5-7 p.m. Mon.-Thurs.) call the ITS Help Desk at 828.251. 6445 and choose option 4.
