Scope of Article: 

Keene State classrooms with audiovisual equipment are categorized by style depending on the type of equipment installed. The most basic of which is a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Room which typically includes a projector and speakers and requires a user to bring their own laptop. We have abbreviated these Rooms as Type I, II, and III. An "Installed Computer + Conferencing" Room is the most advanced (Type III) and will typically include a built-in PC and hybrid equipment (cameras & microphones) which allows to user to run a Zoom or web call without bringing in any additional equipment. These levels are fully defined in the below Content section.
