What do Lecturers want from their Lecture Venues?

With increasing demand for powerful, technology-rich learning environments, it is likely that teacher centred lecture halls, designed to assist students acquire scare information, will not meet todays technological expectations.

When lecturing I have to be able to

Access a console equipped with working electronic education technologies Be able to connect to the internet and the university network Be able to plug in extra electronic devices from multiple power supply points Have sufficient table space for all my equipment and materials Lecture from behind a lectern All of the above

The purpose of this research was to hear from humanities lecturers, what their technology expectations were for their teaching venues. We wanted to clearly articulate the minimum audio/ visual/computing facilities that academics require when teaching students in lecture halls seating 50 students or more. The data included in this poster was taken from an online survey answered by 39 academics from Wits Humanities faculty.
