Max Capacity: 350

Classroom Access

Note on Control Panel:

  • The control panel in this room is set up to only show the departmentally-supplied Windows computer. In the back of the room is a small monitor that can be used as a confidence monitor when showing other sources, such as a laptop, however, it is far enough away that you will not see details.

This is a departmentally-owned room. OIT does not support the computer in this classroom. OIT can offer some assistance with learning the technology in this classroom, but because this is a departmentally-controlled space, we are not able to offer full assistance. Information on this page may not be completely accurate and may be outdated due to department updates.

Lapel-style microphones are called Lavalier mics. Lavalier microphones are clipped to your shirt about 3-6 inches below your chin and come with a battery pack you can clip to a belt or slide in a pocket.

Tip: Adjust sound levels by going to the tab for in-room mics or microphones on the control panel. You can adjust the sound level for when you use Zoom or Panopto by going to the tab for Zoom/Panopto mic.

Each mic has been programmed to work with the audio system in your classroom. These mics will not work in other rooms because they have not been set to work with another room system and may also be incompatible with some of the equipment in that room. Please contact OIT if you need additional mics in your classroom.

Tip: when you switch the battery pack on, if the light is green, the battery charge is good. If the light is red, the battery is getting low.

To change the battery on this microphone, look for the small tab either on the side or bottom of the battery pack. Mics will take either D or AA batteries. These batteries should be available in the cable drawer of your podium. If you do not have batteries and need some immediately, contact the emergency line of the OIT HelpDesk at 865-974-9110. If you wish to just report that the room needs batteries for next time, please contact the main number of the OIT HelpDesk at 865-974-9900.


Handheld microphone

Handheld mics can be used by audience members as a to be heard better in the classroom or during a Zoom meeting or Panopto recording. Depending on the set up of your particular room, the mic may only be used either in the room or on Zoom or Panopto. Check your control panel to see what mics are available in Zoom or Panopto by choosing the Zoom/Panopto option. To check what mics are available over your classroom speakers, check the Room Audio button on the control panel.

If your mic needs batteries, unscrew the microphone from the base to add batteries. Mics will take either D or AA batteries. These batteries should be available in the cable drawer of your podium. If you do not have batteries and need some immediately, contact the emergency line of the OIT HelpDesk at 865-974-9110. If you wish to just report that the room needs batteries for next time, please contact the main number of the OIT HelpDesk at 865-974-9900.
