Distance Education Classrooms

Classroom equipped for distance education.

Delivering educational content around the world has never been easier. Inside the Sorrell Center, two 80-seat distance education classrooms will feature huge (7 feet by 9 1/3 feet) rear projection screens that display the instructor’s presentation material and a view of students in remote locations. Instruction from these rooms will be available via high quality two-way video conferencing, Web streaming and stored recording for on-demand viewing. The on-demand viewing uses video and audio recording technology that allows rapid access to individual presentation slides for enhanced studying and review.

“The technology in the Sorrell Center classrooms takes UNMC to another level in the delivery of education to our students and health care professionals in Nebraska and around the world,” said Dan Moser, Ph.D., associate director of UNMC’s Information Technology Services. About 800 courses at UNMC have at least some content available via online and distance education technology.
