چکیده
Lecture halls are often the main places for discussion between educators and students. They are therefore ideal starting points for incorporating technology into teaching. To be widely accepted, the technology must be useful without distracting lecturer or audience. We present a lecture hall infrastructure and a headset that provide attractive but unobtrusive support for both educators and students.

متن کاملLecture Halls - Room Acoustics and Sound Reinforcement
This paper describes our experience with lecture halls with regard to the room acoustics, sound reinforcement and audio frequency induction loops for persons with hearing impairment. The optimum reverberation time and geometrical conditions for classrooms are well known. Recent research basically confirms this knowledge but indicates the need for shorter reverberation times. However, many exist...
متن کاملThe Virtual Technician: An Automatic Software Enhancer for Audio Recording in Lecture Halls
Webcasting and recording of university lectures has become common practice. While much effort has been put into the development and improvement of formats and codecs, few scientist have studied how to improve the quality of the signal before it is digitized. Lecture halls or seminar rooms are not professional recording studios. Good quality recordings require full-time technicians to setup and ...
