Web Conferencing Classrooms
To meet the needs of teaching and learning at the University of Guelph during the pandemic, OpenEd has upgraded 39 centrally booked classrooms with web conferencing technology to support diverse teaching approaches. These classrooms allow instructors the flexibility to teach face-to-face, remotely, or a combination of both.
If you are assigned to a teach in a Lecture Web Conferencing or Seminar Web Conferencing Classroom, you may register for an orientation session in our demo room in Day Hall.
These 30-minute, in-person orientation sessions, facilitated by an instructional technology specialist (ITS), include a walkthrough of the classroom technology, a chance to try out your laptop in the room, and an opportunity to better understand the in-person and remote student experience.
You will be asked to provide three potential availability windows when requesting an orientation. Our team will make every effort to accommodate your availability.
Web Conferencing Classroom Information and Resources
The lecture (hybrid) classrooms allow instructors to deliver lectures simultaneously to students who are attending classes face-to-face and remotely, and also allow for optional recording of the class.
These classrooms have been upgraded with a faculty-facing camera, wireless mic for instructors, and an additional monitor for conference management and to view the chat from students who are attending remotely.

Web Conferencing Seminar Classrooms (Flipped)
The seminar (flipped) classrooms have the lecture and recording function of the lecture (hybrid) rooms, and additional technology to support interactive teaching strategies.
The equipment in these rooms is similar to the lecture (hybrid) rooms, but with the addition of ceiling mics and a student-facing camera that allows in-classroom and remote students to interact with each other.
