Narrative

Students working collaboratively in both the Jupiter and Boca libraries tend to make full use of dry erase whiteboards in study rooms or study areas where these items are available. However, it would be desirable to upgrade the technology beyond boards and color markers to a state-of-the-art solution. This enhancement would give  students access to technology which is currently available in e-classrooms and would offer onscreen, networked projection not currently available to students working in the libraries. We are requesting five whiteboard products, such as the MimioTeach, to be added to the selected collaborative study rooms.Two of the whiteboards will be added in Jupiter and three at the Boca campus.

This request supports the university’s Strategic Plan to develop an academic support structure for timely student graduation.
