Over the last year, Simmons Technology has completed significant upgrades to media equipment in classrooms across campus. In each of the rooms listed below, you’ll find a placard located near the lectern or podium with information on how to operate the equipment. Technology also provides an up-to-date list of available classroom equipment and configurations for your reference.
If you will be teaching in any of the following classrooms, Technology can provide assistance and brief trainings on using the new equipment. Please contact the Service Desk at 617-521-2222 if you would like to schedule an appointment.

A Note about VCRs and VHS
In today’s media environment, the VHS tape format is becoming increasingly difficult to support. Like many other schools, Simmons has stopped deploying VCRs and the library no longer purchases any materials in VHS format. For faculty who use VHS tapes, Library staff can research whether your content is available in a newer format (DVD, Blu-Ray, streaming).
If you have any questions about these changes or about classroom media equipment in preparation for the fall semester, please contact the Service Desk at 617-521-2222.
