Technology for Teaching

Below are some of the resources our staff can help you with. Not seeing something you need? Search for info in Ask Athena or contact us!

Every academic course has a Moodle site where instructors can share resources with students and set up assignments, quizzes, polls, discussion boards and other online activities. See the Moodle section of Ask Athena for how-to guides and links to video tutorials.

Nearly all Bryn Mawr College classrooms have a data projector and screen and a podium computer and/or laptop and tablet data connection. Lecture halls have a lecture capture camera and microphone facing the podium. Some rooms are equipped with cameras and microphones facing the audience for video conferencing.

To see details about a specific room, including its technology, browse for it in the Locations section of the College's room reservation system.

For training and troubleshooting of classroom technologies, contact Multimedia (multimedia@brynmawr.edu; 610-526-7449).

The Registrar's Office assigns classrooms for academic courses. Use the room reservation system to reserve classrooms for other purposes. 

Log into Panopto. See the Panopto section of Ask Athena for more info about how to use it to record, upload and share course content, create video quizzes or receive video assignment submissions. 

Faculty, students and staff can check out DVD/CD drives, cameras, voice recorders, tripods and other multimedia equipment from the Canaday Library circulation desk for 7-day loan periods. 

Public computer labs, scanners and printers are available throughout the libraries, including some accessible 24 hours/day in Canaday. Some software can be accessed on personal devices; if not, it can be accessed remotely through our LabStats and Apporto virtual lab computer services. 

The College site-licenses both Microsoft Teams and Zoom. Both can be used to create and host online meetings; Zoom is integrated with Panopto and Moodle to facilitate sharing meeting links and recordings with course participants.
