Digital Classroom Lectern
Streamlined Design for Small Classes
The Digital Classroom Lectern, or “DCL,” is our standard system for small classrooms. The Digital Classroom Lectern enables instructors to present using a built-in Mac computer or by connecting personal portable devices. Like all Digital Classroom Systems, the DCL is connected to high-definition displays and speakers and is operated using Rutgers Room Control. Unlike other DCS systems, the Lectern has a smaller footprint that provides faculty easy access without cluttering up valuable teaching space. The lectern and touchscreen may also be raised and lowered to an optimal height.
