Using the Active Learning Student Monitor
In DCS's Active Learning Classrooms, the monitors at each table can be used to not only view the instructor's computer, but also to connect student computers, tablets, or phones. The monitors are available to use at any time, but lock out when the instructor logs into the hub at the center of the room. The instructor can then opt to release the monitors back to students by pressing the Unlock Table Controls button on Rutgers Room Control. Once they have or if they are not logged in, click on your classroom below and follow the listed steps. Before you share your device to the monitor, you may wish to disable notifications.
