Hodges 253 – eXperience Point Gaming Lab

The eXperience Point Gaming Lab, otherwise known as the eSports Lab, is a cutting edge computer lab created with video games and related technologies in mind. It is open for faculty to use as a classroom, in addition to being open for student use as a gaming space or work space with the provided software.

This is a departmentally-owned room. 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 Information on this page may not be completely accurate and may be outdated due to department updates.

Some rooms on campus have supplied computers in the classroom. The computer in this room is supplied by the department that primarily uses the space. OIT does not have access to login information on this machine. Please contact your department to get information on how to log in or use this computer.

If this computer is using a departmentally provided username/password, make sure you log out of any app when you are done. Otherwise, anyone who logs onto the computer will be able to log into your apps under your name.

Possible Feature: Using the Camera and Supplied Computer

Some departments chose to connect a room-provided camera to the computer. IF your classroom has a camera, it MAY be connected to the room computer. If so, you should be able to use the Classroom Supplied Computer to run a Zoom meeting using the in-room microphone and camera. Note – logging onto the classroom supplied computer to Zoom will log you out of Zoom on your personal computer.
