Hyflex Classrooms

Hyflex classrooms are designed to enable both in-person and remote learning.

 

All Hyflex classrooms are equipped with an instructor-view camera and microphones for use in distance and hybrid learning. Most rooms also have a student-view camera.

 

*Note: No additional Hyflex rooms are planned at this time.

Zoom Settings

Below are the camera and mic settings for Zoom in these classrooms. These settings are on a "per user" basis -- meaning every individual who logs in must make the initial selections for themselves. Please note, you should only need to set these up once.

Expand All | Collapse All

Camera Settings
  • See available camera views by clicking the chevron ( ^ ) on the Video button:Screenshot of Zoom's Video options
  • Use the desired camera by selecting it in the list
  • If the image appears distorted or blurry, click on Video settings... in the same menu
  • Verify that HD is enabled, and Mirror my video is disabled:Screenshot showing Zoom's Advanced Video options
  • If either is not the case, please contact IMS at x7374
Microphone and Speakers
  • See available microphone and speaker choices by clicking the chevron ( ^ ) on the Audio button:Screenshot showing Zoom's Audio options menu
  • Select the correct microphone by consulting the table on this web page (above)
  • Speaker should always be set to either Dell P2418HT or HDMI splitter
  • If you cannot hear remote students or they cannot hear you, see Troubleshooting below
Document Camera
  • Each room is equipped with a USB document camera that can be displayed within Zoom
  • After you've physically powered on the document camera, it should appear as an option under the Video button chevron ( ^ ) after about a minute:

  • Choose Lumens Document Camera, then physically adjust the focus/zoom on the doc cam itself

Usage Instructions

Touchpanel Control

Each room is equipped with a touchpanel that controls the camera system. Click the Camera Controls button on the touchpanel and utilize the onscreen buttons to control the camera. Please refer to this .pdf which illustrates basic Touch Panel controls.

Tracking

Enable the auto-track function of the camera to have it automatically follow you as you walk around the room.

Preset

Each camera has 4 pre-determined "views" that can be triggered via the preset buttons. These correspond to:

  1. Closeup of Instructor Station
  2. Wide view of the instructor station
  3. Closeup of a whiteboard section
  4. Wide view of the whiteboard

Manual Control

You can also manually move the camera and zoom in/out as needed.

 

Special Features

Dual Cameras

You can show 2 cameras in Zoom at once (Document Cam and Room Cam)

  • Select the "primary camera" (from the table above) to display as your video
  • Click "share" and then the "advanced" tab on top of the share window. Select "content from 2nd camera". If the document camera does not show, press "Switch camera" in the upper left until video appears (make sure it is turned on first).

Remote/In-person Mixed Groups

The only way to pair a remote and in-person student within the same group is to have the in-person student use a personal device (laptop, phone) to join the Zoom meeting. You can then place them both in the same meeting room.

 

*Note: The in-person student must have their microphone and speakers muted anytime they are not in a meeting room, or their device will cause feedback.

 

Training

Please email Instructional Media for hands-on training.

 

Troubleshooting

Quick fixes for common issues.

Expand All | Collapse All

I can't hear sound from Zoom (speakers)

Remote Participants

Make sure the participant can hear audio from their computer and Zoom and that their speakers aren't muted. They may wish to play music on Youtube and  Test Speaker and Mic on their Zoom to confirm they are hearing audio. Have them do this by clicking the up arrow next to the microphone icon.

Verify Zoom Settings

Make sure you have selected the correct mic (noted in the table at the top of this page) by clicking the up arrow next to the microphone icon.

Test Your Mic

Click the up arrow next to the microphone icon and select Test Speaker & Microphone. A sound will begin playing in Zoom. If the sound doesn't play in the room, click try next device until you hear the sound through the room's speakers. Click Next and do the same process for the microphone.

Camera is Blurry / Image is Backwards

Verify HD video is selected and Mirror my video is not, as explained above. Contact IMS at x7374 if this is not the case.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions regarding the Hyflex rooms.

Expand All | Collapse All

How were these rooms determined?

Campus administration, IMS and Instructional Operations reviewed classroom spaces with Academic Deans to determine which were the most feasible and would have the greatest impact.

Can I request a room?

We are happy to meet with you and review the feasibility of adding Hyflex equipment to your space. That request would then need to be sent to your Dean and campus administration for consideration or your department would need to fund the project.

What is the capacity/layout of a particular room

Please reach out to campus Instructional Operations or utilize the Location Search feature of Collegenet/25Live:
