Multimedia Instructions
Overview
Some classrooms at LSU have been upgraded to include Audio/Visual (A/V) equipment to assist with onsite and remote instruction. A classroom with these upgrades is known as a “Tier 2 classroom.” Most of the equipment operates without user intervention and cannot be adjusted.
