Classroom Technology Audit Project
About the Classroom Technology Audit Project
The Digital Strategy Task Force report recommended that CU Denver complete a classroom audit that could inform a roadmap for technology upgrades in order to ensure appropriate classroom technology for teaching across modalities.
Phase 1
Phase 1 included initial data gathering and collecting feedback about cross-disciplinary classroom needs. An audit of CU Denver owned classrooms was conducted by Corey Parham, Assistant Director of Service Delivery and Operations in Denver’s Office of Information Technology. The initial data collection was guided by the following questions:
- What is the age of the current technology infrastructure in each classroom?
- What is the functionality and features included in each room?
- Does the room offer short-term or permanent technology solutions?
- Does the current technology in any way hinder the faculty teaching experience or the student learning experience?
On November 1, 2022, Corey Parham and Katie Linder presented preliminary findings from data collected on the 96 CU Denver classrooms and discussed some possible next steps for the classroom technology audit project. For those not able to attend, a recording of the session can be found below.
Phase 2
Phase 2 of the project was for planning and the development of a classroom proof of concept classroom. The project leads worked with facilities, faculty and administration to determine funding and determine a plan for the classroom technology upgrades. The first 23 classrooms upgraded are in the North Classroom. The upgrades will take place during the summer 2024 and will be ready for the fall semester. Priority for future classroom upgrades are being determined.

Phase 3
Phase 3 of this project will begin in the Fall 2024. Faculty, staff and students are encouraged to participate in upcoming feedback sessions and events geared towards exploring teaching and learning needs related to digital connections for various devices, image projection needs, and equipment needed for teaching in flexible hybrid modalities, among other topics.
