Classroom Training Calendar

Classroom Technology Training

We provide training and reference materials to help instructors confidently use classroom technology for in-person, recorded and streamed instruction. Faculty can access an online training course, learn about Connected Classroom capabilities, and consult classroom lists and campus maps to identify room features and locations.

Classroom Training Course

If you are teaching in a classroom and need training, you may self-enroll in our online Classroom Training Course, delivered through Instructure. This course covers our various types of classrooms, with how-to videos and job aids on operating the equipment.

Connected Classrooms

Connected Classroom technology enables instructors to record and stream their class sessions as well as make them available to students via the password-protected learning management system.

Classroom Lists

You can also refer to our classroom lists on the Room Directory page to determine if you are teaching in a TouchLink or Control Panel room. For information on building locations you may check the interactive SDSU Campus Map.

Key Issue Policy

In many cases, access to SDSU classroom equipment requires a 101A key. Instructors are required to be trained in the use of classroom equipment prior to being issued a key. To determine if you are teaching in a classroom requiring a key, please refer to the Connected Classrooms List.

To request a key, please contact your college's department coordinator, who will initiate an Adobe Sign form to get the key from the Key Issue office. Instructors no longer teaching at SDSU are responsible for returning the 101A key to either their colleges key issue contact, or the SDSU Key Issue office. For further questions regarding 101A key access please call 594-5691.

For any questions regarding Classroom trainings please submit a ServiceNow ticket and one of our staff members will get back to you right away.
