How do I operate HyFlex classroom technology?

Hyflex - These classrooms are outfitted with video cameras and microphones suitable for synchronous instruction with some students in person and some students online.
How do I know if my room is HyFlex equipped? HyFlex rooms have one camera pointed toward the instructor and one pointed toward the student area, as well as microphones in the ceiling.

  • This FAQ refers to HyFlex classroom technology found in SOND105, ITE227, ITE233, ENGR025, AD101 (LH3), and various other departmental spaces on campus.
