OCM Expands Document Camera Availability

OCM is increasing the number of document cameras in general purpose classrooms to enhance the capabilities of the presentation technology system.

Document cameras offer the capability of displaying transparencies, slides, and opaque flat or three-dimensional items. A document camera also allows users to point, mark, zoom in and out, and view and object from different angles. To find rooms with document cameras or other specific features, go to Search for classroom features.

Instructions for document cameras can be found on the equipment instruction sheet for each individual classroom. To locate classroom instructions, go to Find classroom instructions.

Classrooms without document cameras are equipped with overhead projectors for displaying transparencies; however overhead projectors are not capable of displaying opaque items. Click here for more information about overhead projectors.

If you need assistance with identifying classroom capabilities or features, please call the Classroom Support Hotline at 612-625-1086.
