Classroom Technology Changes (Reminder)
To Know: ET&S Learning Space Technology (LST) is transitioning classroom technology from analog technology (VGA connections and VHS players) to digital display technology (HDMI). This project is underway and will be completed by the start of the Fall 2022 semester.
To Do: Instructors who still use VGA connections and/or VHS players should transition to HDMI by Fall 2022. If you have a KSC-issued computer, your device should have the connection and/or adapter needed to connect to the digital connections in the classroom. If you don’t have a KSC-issued computer, you’ll need to ensure your computer has a USB-C or a mini display port. For USB-C connections, a USB-C adapter will need to be purchased and we recommend this one.
