Education Classroom

To request equipment that is not standard in these rooms, please email classroomcentral@odu.edu.

The Darden Education Building (ED2) is home of the Darden College of Education & Professional Studies at Old à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã University. This state-of-the-art building, which serves as a beautiful gateway to the University, has 11 technology classrooms with powerful media and display capabilities. All classroom doors have Proximity locks.

Classrooms

All classroom furniture is on wheels to support active learning. Classrooms can be configured any number of ways - we just ask that rooms be reset to their standard configuration at the end of each class.

On the wall, you'll find a hotline phone that rings directly to either the ITS Help Desk (press 1) or campus police (press 9).

Adjustable Instructor Desk

All instructor desks are designed to accommodate your personal teaching style:

  • A touchscreen monitor mounted on an adjustable arm swivels to face any which way.
  • The monitor contains a built-in web cam for Zoom sessions.
  • Buttons electronically raise and lower the height of the desk so you can teach from the position you feel most comfortable.
  • All cables are tucked neatly into the desk and out of the way.
  • The document camera can display paper or 3D objects on the screen.
  • A touch panel controls the classroom shades and the projector volume.

  • Doc Cam - Project flat or 3D objects from the document camera that comes standard on every instructor desk.
