Cleveland State University is upgrading all the synchronous distance learning classroom technology both on and off campus. An incredible amount of testing, surveys, and engineering goes into designing and building a reliable and user friendly distance learning system. In the past, when a classroom technology role of of this size was purposed, multiple vendors were hired to build the system. This has proven to be a mistake as no one classroom system operates the same as another classroom's technology.

By working hand-in-hand with the IVDL Technology Committee , Cleveland State University staff are at the heart of building, integrating and maintaining the new IP technology. In the end, building a cost-effective, user-friendly student and instructor synchronous distance learning system is what we hope to achieve.

At the heart of the integration, is the physical hardware and software technology itself.

Below are links to vendors that are actively playing a role in the new distance learning classroom's technologies hardware model with a special thanks to Tandberg for working closely with us in designing a classroom worthy of our students and faculty here at Cleveland State University.
