Other support offered for remote teaching

Record your lecture in one of our Learning Spaces

The COE IT team provides remote support for faculty interested in using the Learning and Collaboration Spaces for recording their lectures. The College of Engineering supports a number of rooms equipped with multiple cameras and displays for full interactivity. These rooms are equipped with computers, whiteboards, conferencing equipment, document cameras and wireless video. They can be scheduled for recording lectures in both Omaha and Lincoln (subject to change). 

1)  Faculty must schedule their Zoom meetings and provide the Zoom meeting ID to the IT team. 

2) We encourage faculty to reserve the rooms at least 24 hours in advance. 

Reserve a Room

Rooms managed by the Dean's Office may be scheduled through the CoE Room Reservation System - Lincoln Reservations | Scott Campus Reservations
