Hybrid Classrooms have been designated in numerous buildings across campus. These rooms have been specially designed and equipped with technology to enable synchronous teaching to populations of students both physically present in the classroom and joining the class virtually via Zoom. The number of Echo360 lecture capture classrooms has been expanded, facilitating the recording of class sessions and simultaneous instruction for students who are physically present in the room and those who are online.
