Improve learning outcomes and empower students to participate in class. Poll Everywhere improves student and educator communication with real-time polling, quizzes, Q&A, competitions and more.

Labspace provides students and faculty anytime, anywhere access to software applications.  Popular titles such as SPSS, SAS, Mathematica, MATLAB, ArcGIS and Microsoft Office are available. For students, this means they can access software used in their courses from home, a coffee shop or anywhere they have a computer and internet connection. For faculty, specialized software is more easily available for conducting research, training or scholarship.

Labspace is available to:

- Students who are enrolled in a course for which the faculty member has requested access

- Faculty who have made a request for access for scholarly, research or professional development purposes (faculty can request access to Labspace for their courses or for individual students)

Learning Glass is a video recording studio that allows instructors to record a video with drawn visuals, similar to presenting with a whiteboard, but without having your back to the camera. Some examples of content to be presented this way would be complex math formulas, diagrams, or flow charts.

Before recording your first video you will meet with an instructional designer from the team here at Academic Technology. This short consultation will help you prepare your material for the most effective presentation in your Learning Glass recording. Consultations are between 30 minutes and an hour long, depending on what you wish to discuss and how complex your materials are.

Learning Glass studio sessions are 1 1/2 hour to 2 hours long, depending on what content you wish to present. If you have never done a Learning Glass session before, you must complete an instructional design consultation <LINK> before you are allowed to schedule studio time. The studio is available Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
