Classrooms are evolving rapidly. University systems now commonly integrate classroom and information technology into the learning space. Wirelessconnectivity allows students to research issues during class. Students now routinely review and submit course information and contact professors online. The classroom itself has become a technological epicenter that allows students to view court proceedings and allows lecturers to vist via videoconferencing.Students now have the ability to repeat lectures by accessing streaming audio and video online. Some professors now require students to prepare videopresentations. Faculty may now review such student projects on class webpages and need not handle multiple types of video media.
