Digital Classroom Systems
Rutgers Technology for Rutgers Teaching
DCS designed, builds, and installs classroom technologies designed to enhance the learning experience. Our equipment facilitates the use of popular presentation methods such as computer-based projection and digital video. DCS aids lecture hall teaching through the use of microphones, listening assistance, and multiple screen presentation. We are also engaged with the latest trends in pedagogy, such as wireless display sharing, networked computer-driven systems, videoconferencing, lecture capture, and document cameras. Finally, we support traditional analog equipment, including 16mm film projectors.
A Homegrown Solution
Over ninety-nine percent of DCS-supported classrooms are equipped with permanent equipment housed in units that we refer to as “Digital Classroom Systems.” These systems are presentation hubs from which instructors can project and play audio from a variety of different sources. In these classrooms you will find one of four different types of systems. While the capability of each type of system can vary depending on the size and orientation of the room, each system has a uniform user interface. Choose a system below to learn more about the features each has to offer.

The Hub is DCS’s solution for Active Learning Classrooms. Collaborative Instructor Hubs enable faculty to teach from the center of the room while distributing content and pulling content from students tables around the perimeter of the room.
DCFs are table-based systems used in seminar rooms that allow instructors to control class content while also sitting with their students.
The DCL is our solution for small classroom settings. The Lectern provides much of the capability of our larger systems but takes up a smaller footprint.
The DCP is the first system Digital Classroom Services introduced to Rutgers classrooms. It provides various technologies to facilitate the wide range of teaching methods employed in our classrooms.
