How do I use specialized displays?

Classrooms equipped with a SMART Sympodium allow instructors to annotate PowerPoint presentations while projected to the class. To use this feature, you will need to:

  1. Complete these steps first:
    • Open the equipment cabinet with your console key
    • Use the AMX panel to turn on the projector or display and select “Computer”
    • Log on to the classroom computer using your CUNET (MC1) account
  2. Launch the PowerPoint slideshow presentation from the classroom computer
  3. Use the stylus to annotate your slides and/or erase annotations

NOTE: The SMART Sympodium software is not accessible through your personal laptop via a cable connection. Please ensure that you are prepared to teach using the classroom computer.
