Adobe Connect Presentation

Background
Located in the Humanities building at San Diego State University campus. The Humanities building consists of 2 separate buildings joined by open-air walkways and a courtyard in the center. The courtyard was refurbished around 2007 when the Arts & Letter Building was completed on the east side of campus. The Instructional Technology Services department uses Room 1132 for daily staff meetings and meetings with external clients. On rare occasion, ITS Student Assistants and other SDSU students use the room, but no classroom instruction takes place in the conference space.

There is a $50,000 budget for remodeling the current space. There are existing elements of the room that need to be included, such as a 70” HDTV display, webcam and existing white board. The room is currently equipped with NRC 55 acoustic ceiling tiles, due to budget constraints; the current tiles will be incorporated into the new design. The room is in the inner part of the building, not allowing for any natural light.


 * Target Audience**
 * Instructional Technology Services Staff at San Diego State University (internal)
 * Clients (external)
 * ITS Student Assistants

Supporting Theory
When we asked James about the vision of this room, he replied with a list of active verbs: “Collaborate, brainstorm, plan, discuss, vote, diagram, share, and record”.

He stated that the vision is informed by the Constructivist learning theory.Constructivist learning space emphasizes on human-centered design. As Malcolm Brown stated in his article Trends in Learning Space Design, classrooms are not mere containers, they provide environments for people, the factors such as the availability of food and drink, comfortable chairs, and furniture that support a variety of learning activities are critical elements for humanizing learning spaces. Active learning, interaction, and social engagement are the major elements of current learning space design.

According to the Steel-case Incorporation’s education report, more educators shift to constructivist teaching methods, they are pressing for more flexibility for learning spaces. A flexible arrangement can allow users to reconfigure the layout easily for various activities that might include tables with casters for mobility, the use of WiFi and mobile technology.

Debbi Laidley in her article, The Brain-Based Constructivist Classroom, stated that a constructivist classroom is unlikely to be set up in straight rows, but mostly in groups of desks pushed together, and chairs may be arranged in a circle to support active engagement. Flexible room arrangement can also encourage communication and collaboration among participants. Although the conference room is not used for instruction, constructivist approaches can still be applied to promote team thinking and inspire creativity.

Ergonomics and Room Layout
Spacing Requirements:
 * 56” between wall and table
 * Minimum 25” between wall and chair
 * 56” between table and whiteboard
 * When using laptop or keyboard with ipad – leave 30” between back of chair and wall
 * Allow 30” for presenter between white board and table
 * TV and whiteboard viewing, requires 30 to 45 degrees from center of screen/board

Room 18’6” x 13’4”
 * Largest table: 10’L x 4’w
 * Seating capacity: 14

Because the room is for daily meetings between staff, the table is designed to accommodate different needs of the occupants. It can be moved closer together, to have a traditional conference style table, or separated to be used more functionally during a presentation. The tables are on casters, allowing for them to be moved to more desirable locations, again depending on the needs of the occupants. The size of the chairs were selected to allow for free movement without overcrowding. Sightlines were taken into consideration when choosing the table and the location of the whiteboards, TV and drop down projector screen.



**Furnishings**
The conference room currently contains the following furniture:
 * 1 conference table approximately 3’ by 8’ in size
 * About 15 plastic and steel frame chairs with cloth upholstery
 * 1 whiteboard approximately 4’ by 6’ in size
 * 1 HDTV display screen approximately 70” in size
 * 1 small cabinet
 * The wall is white
 * The floor is blue carpet

The conference room will be used by SDSU faculty and staff for daily meeting. The space is to support users to collaborate, brainstorm, plan, discuss, vote, diagram, share and record. The college’s vision for this room is based on the Constructivist learning theory.

The selection of furniture for this conference room is based on the following criteria:
 * Support the constructivist learning principle which emphasizes on student engagement and interaction.
 * Provide flexible room arrangement and mobility for different groupings, meetings, and discussions.
 * Allow small groups interaction for blended collaboration and brainstorming
 * Support information immersion and retention of discussion, voting, and diagram.
 * Promote team thinking, and inspire creativity

**Computing Technologies (Hardware & Software)**
1) __Google Site:__ You may view the Google Site for the Conference Room here: []


 * Utilizes Google to be compatible with most visitors, SDSU faculty/staff, and students.
 * Mobile Friendly (open it up in your browser to see)
 * Can get a custom domain name to "reroute to" this page for easier access.
 * Can get a skinned "instant access" App for even easier and immediate access to the page via mobile devices.
 * Video of the conference can be streamed in real time via Google Hangouts on Air (and YouTube), so individuals can watch the conference in live time from anywhere on campus or at home.
 * Additionally, more than one conference team (worldwide) can join the same Google Hangout for privately-streamed or publicly-streamed __interactive__ video conferencing and collaboration. Google Hangouts currently allows for 8 maximum participants (conference teams) within the same Hangout session, but the number of non-participants who can view the Hangout in live-time is limitless (meaning they can watch and follow-along, but cannot actively participate or control the Hangout session as the 8 main participant teams can).
 * Users can (should the presenter allow it) ask questions to the main presenter from anywhere on campus or at home in real time during the conference via the "chat box" feature, which can then be answered by the presenter via the video feed.
 *  Presenter can simply "drop in" Google documents from Google Drive related to the conference (including text documents, presentations, graphs, spreadsheets, etc. -- which can also be converted to Google documents from Microsoft Office documents) for users to access and use to "follow along" during the conference. If the documents are given "editable" access privileges, then they can be used as collaborative documents, meaning that users can both see and collaborate together on the documents from anywhere on campus or at home (great for surveys and text documents).

__2) Internet Access:__ It is currently assumed that the internet connection provided to the conference room will be shared from SDSU’s existing wireless (Wi-Fi) internet connection unless otherwise specified that the conference room should have a separate connection.

__3) Labor/Installation:__ As of this time, it is assumed that SDSU has salaried IT personnel on hand to handle the installation and setup of the hardware and software proposed here, so associated fees for such labor have not been included as part of the budget.

__4) Storage/Locked-Up Items:__ Items that //may// be stored (locked up) in the mobile, rolling audio visual cart for added security are the Macbook Pro Laptop, the Wireless USB Lapel Microphones, the Logitech Wireless Webcam and Nikon Compact Tripod (Camera Stand), the Elmo TT12 Document Camera, the Apple TV, and the iPad Mini (for use during mirrored presentations and connecting with the conference room's Google site to update documents and answer questions while a conference is in progress).

__5) Instantly Accessed Items:__ Items that will not be stored (locked up) in the mobile, rolling audio visual cart, and will be either "out" for easy access in the room (most typically mounted to a wall) are the EPSON Short Throw Projector (which will be securely locked up in the LP Morgan Security Cage Projector Mount), the flat screen TV, the Belkin Conference Room Power Hubs (4), the Panasonic Corded Phone, and the Logitech Conference Cam* (*note that if desired, this can be made a "storage item" as well).

6) __Justifications for Presentation Hardware/Software Flexibility:__ We recommend purchasing both the EPSON EB-426WI Short Throw Interactive Projector and Apple TV (for Device Mirroring). Both are presentation-oriented hardware, but come with different, specific features, which allow them to be used for unique purposes.

-- a) __1-Way Mirroring vs. 2-Way Interactivity:__

a.1) __1-Way Mirroring:__ The Apple TV with AirPlay system allows for easy 1-way device mirroring, which means that the presenter can "project" his screen (a Powerpoint presentation or Photoshop file, for instance) to any other user's device (laptop, tablet, cellphone, etc.) with only a WiFi connection. Users can follow-along and watch the presenter's screen in close-up, real-time as he presents. However, this mirroring technology only permits 1-way presenting, meaning that one user can present his desktop (or device) to other users, but these users in turn cannot edit the file or manipulate the screen being presented (with few exceptions). For instance, all users could view the presenter's manipulations of or changes to the Powerpoint or Photoshop file in real-time as he presents, but they cannot in turn manipulate or edit/change the Powerpoint or Photoshop file themselves (they can only watch). As a result, the Apple TV with AirPlay system is most excellent for **presenting and conferencing**.



a.2) __2-Way Interactivity:__ Unlike the Apple TV, the EPSON EB-426WI Short Throw Interactive Projector allows for easy 2-way document interactivity. It projects the presenter's screen (such as a Powerpoint or Photoshop file, for instance) against any white-board, like a traditional projector, but with one useful difference: Users can interact with and edit/change the file being projected. This projector comes with two Epson interactive pens, and allows for a maximum of two users to utilize these pens to either manipulate or "draw" on the projected file. Their edits on the projected file are in turn picked up by the Epson projector, and the original file being projected then reflects these changes or edits. The edits that users make to the file can then be saved and shared with them for future reference. However, while it offers 2-way interactivity, the Epson projector only allows projection onto one large surface and not onto a number of other devices. As a result, the Epson Interactive Projector system is most excellent for **collaboration and interactive training**.



-- b) __Backup & Choice Flexibility:__ It is worthy to note that the Apple TV with AirPlay system provides excellent (i.e. user-friendly, highly compatible, and fluid/smooth) device mirroring capabilities, but does rely on a WiFi (or WiFi LAN) connection in order to function. Should there be a day when the SDSU WiFi system is overloaded or down, this technology could not be utilized. Since it is not a highly uncommon occurrence, on a busy college campus like SDSU, to have certain days when the networks might be overloaded or down for various reasons, we recommend the Epson projector to provide an easy-to-use projection system to fall back on during these times. Since our proposal currently utilizes less than 50% of our maximum budget (even with the purchase of the optional items), and since the Epson Interactive Projector comes with useful 2-way interactivity (collaboration) features not offered by any of the other technology in the space, we firmly believe it would hence be fully justified to purchase both the Apple TV with AirPlay for device mirroring (for presenting) and the Epson Interactive Projector (for collaborating) for this space.

Assessment
Before design began on the ITS-HA 1132 space, questions were posed to the Director of ITS at SDSU. Guided by his responses, the above recommendations were proposed.

To assess to the response to the renovated conference space, upon completion, an assessment will be performed to address whether or not the renovated room meets the needs of the department. A mixed methods approach will be utilized with two instruments, which allows for a more complete picture of the results. First, a qualitative analysis will be done on the response of the Director of ITS. He will be interviewed with questions designed to address whether or not the goals had been met. Secondly, a survey will be sent out to all ITS staff who use the room. The questions will be on a 4-point Likert-scale resulting in quantitative data. The questions, again addressing whether or not the goals had been met, will be measured with scores ranging from 1-4. 1: being no, the goals had not been met, 2: goals were attempted, 3: goals were approached and 4:goals were meet exceedingly. The survey will be distributed using Qualtrics, which analyzes the quantitative data and provides the percentages to which each question was answered.

The results of both the qualitative and quantitative data will be analyzed to provide the final assessment results. Depending on the results of the assessment, modifications will be made to the room, budget permitting.

Goals of the redesign:
 * Incorporate existing technology
 * Increase computer/mobile device connections
 * Technology needs updated (document camera, USC camera, installed speakers, wireless device capabilities)
 * Main technology control system
 * Increased whiteboard space
 * Full spectrum LED lighting
 * Flexibility

**Conclusion**
Flexibility. Innovation. Human-Centered. Those are the key concepts we focused on when designing the conference space. Guided by the constructivist theory, the design is meant to adapt to the needs to the humans who will be using it. It’s as flexible as possible with the furniture, it has flexible lighting, flexible technology. Flexibility is optimal. The redesigned room can better serve ITS accomplish it’s mission through collaboration and innovation and allow ITS to better serve the university, students, and the community.
