What is the Resource?

The ability to utilize three dedicated stations in the Academic Plaza for collaboration on group projects.

 

How can I access the Resource?

A student can plug in their device using a HDMI cable or RGB cable and aux cord to the outputs to display their screen automatically. Mac users will need to utilize an adapter.

 

Why would I want to use it?

Facilitating collaboration is helpful if you are working on a group project, need an additional help evaluating a project, want additional feedback or consideration on a item, or just want to show what you are working on.

 

Is there a quick start/basic use guide available?

To start:

  1. Evaluate your computer to determine your needs for your cords (RGB or HDMI) or if you need a apple (mac) adapter
  2. Plug in your display cords and / or sound cord to help sync audio and video
  3. Wait for the Television to change to your display
  4. If that does not happen, manually change the display by selecting the display button to the side of the television.
  5. Collaborate
  6. When finished, simply unplug your device and it will return to the previous device . You do not need to turn the TV off.
