LTC Installation Fosters Collaboration - June 2, 2011
James Cutrone, Jesse Koay, Enoch Lai, and James Keys check out the new system.
The LTC is getting a great start on the summer sessions. Just installed is our new Steelcase media:scape collaboration area!
The media:scape supports true collaboration because the technology is very easy to use and allows everyone to contribute equally. Two large flat-panel monitors are mounted on a table that seats six. A unique set of “pucks” connects up to six laptops to the system, allowing each to display to either screen with a quick touch to the puck.
The puck allows each laptop to easily display to either or both screens.
The two-panel system is great for many types of collaboration and groupwork. For example, one screen can display the Web as a group looks for resources; the other screen can display the document the group is jointly working on. Or, a screen can present a distant participant via laptop videoconferencing, while the other shows a spreadsheet under discussion.
The media:scape installation is available in SZB 536, at the LTC’s main fifth floor entrance. For more information, contact Ken Waters.
