Each IBS Classroom is equipped with a Dell Optiplex 755 computer. These computers come equipped with Windows 7 and the latest releases of University endorsed software. The Classroom computer systems are for general faculty use only. Students are restricted from using these computers unless directed by a faculty member, the IBS Technology Office, or if the room has been reserved.
Each classroom is also equipped with projectors and video/audio equipment.
These systems are "refreshed" multiple times per semester. During a refresh, all files on the computer are wiped clean. It is highly recommended that users do not save files directly to these systems.
