Academic Technologies strives to create a supportive and confident classroom environment for the faculty to impart their knowledge and teachings. As part of our ongoing efforts to provide multiple avenues to learn about how the classroom audiovisual equipment works and how it can work for your course, we are piloting a new virtual office hour session.

Starting Winter quarter 2025, join our pilot virtual AV Office Hours via Zoom to get personalized assistance with inquiries about the audio-visual equipment installed in your classroom. Whether you’re preparing for an upcoming lecture or have a guest speaker presenting over Zoom to your class, our experts are available to answer your questions, provide guidance, and help you feel confident using classroom technology—all from the convenience of your own space.

Sign up to attend or drop by via the Zoom link during the scheduled hours to get the support you need! Please use your UW email address to register.

Discover how UW’s advanced classroom technology can enhance your teaching experience. Upper campus has 91 general assignment classrooms designed to support blended and distance learning, along with lecture capture capabilities. While our primary solution is Panopto, instructors also have the flexibility to use Zoom for their teaching needs.

With Panopto and Zoom, you can seamlessly record lectures or conduct live streams directly from your laptop in the classroom. Choose your preferred sources and start capturing valuable content, whether you’re engaging with a remote audience or teaching in person. Once recorded, easily share your content on Canvas, our integrated learning management system.

Teachers and TAs can leverage Zoom’s cloud recording feature to share class meetings directly with students through the Zoom App in Canvas. Plus, the Zoom recordings can automatically migrate into Panopto for added convenience. Panopto recordings can then be shared within Canvas or accessed through the Panopto platform.
