Quickstart: Smart Classrooms

In-Room Amplification for Most Classrooms:

There is great news for our faculty struggling to be heard through your masks! Thanks to MediaVision & IT's Classroom Technology Support group, Cal Poly Pomona is now offering in-room voice amplification for all PC smart classrooms. The in-room amplification utilizes classroom’s built in speaker system but does require that you bring your own device (BYOD) for the microphone.

Although any usb microphone will work, headset style is strongly recommended. MediaVision's pick is the FIFINE Wireless Microphone K031B.
