Deploying an Infrastructure for Technologically Enhanced Learning

A number of university campuses have undertaken the development of digital classrooms that enable presentation of digital media and digital lecture recording. Deploying the infrastructure for a digital classroom is difficult at best even for a technically savvy person. As people from many disciplines become interested in building similar digital classroom spaces, there is a need to produce a useful set of design and implementation guidelines to reduce the project risk and steepness of the deployment curve. The goal of this paper is to report on the experiences the authors have had in deploying the UCSB digital classroom. The two main contributions of this paper are: (1) a phased deployment model; and (2) a discussion of how the proposed technology enables new educational models and techniques. Includes four figures.
