  • Teaching With Technology We're always searching for creative ways to use technology in the classroom. See just a few examples of the unusual high-tech resources you'll see around campus: Practice in a virtual concert hall At the Lamont School of Music, students can practice in rooms equipped with Virtual Room Acoustic Systems (VRAS). These computer-generated systems can amplify sound to recreate the effect of sound waves in of rooms of various sizes. A student with an upcoming performance in a large hall can set the practice room to recreate concert hall acoustics, or the acoustics of a cathedral, a small chamber or nearly any other performance space. Take a class with Washington luminaries Students in Issues in Media and Public Policy, a DU political communications class, frequently learn from famous guest speakers -- former President Bill Clinton, former Speaker of the House of Representatives Newt Gingrich, and retired CBS anchor Walter Cronkite, to name just a few. All of these illustrious speakers, as well as the course's professor, teach from C-SPAN's studios in Washington, D.C. The course is delivered by a live broadband feed between C-SPAN's studios and the Distance Learning Studio at the Cable Center on campus. (The Cable Center is an independent institution with academic links to DU.) The Distance Learning Studio is a complete television studio and control room for recording video. With a microphone at each desk, students can easily ask questions of speakers. High-speed sound and video transmissions keep the discussions lively.
