At Lehman College, we recognized the need to enhance our classroom technology infrastructure to provide our faculty and students with a seamless transition between in-person, hybrid, and online learning environments. The COVID-19 pandemic further demonstrated the need for educational institutions to be prepared to deliver high-quality instruction in multiple formats. Through an institution-wide collaboration, Lehman College developed the classroom technology standards and guiding principles for enhancing teaching and learning spaces with contemporary equipment and software. The classroom technology upgrade with HyFlex capabilities project involved the upgrade of 172 standard classrooms and 4 lecture rooms, all networked and connected to an audio-visual management system. Attendees will learn about this journey, including support through our Train the Trainer program and Rapid Response Team. We will showcase our classroom technology infrastructure, which was selected as an exemplar and will be featured in the 2023 Teaching and Learning Horizon Report.
