ceiling microphone station</a> that includes multiple microphones that do an exceptional job of picking up a wandering professor and can be calibrated for other noise in the room, like the HVAC system. It then sends audio to the internet. A student would snap
a QR code to get access to the webpage where they can tap into the audio feed. The student can then play the audio through their own device to Bluetooth headphones or have it input to transcription like Otter.ai. They say that one system for one room could
run $15-20K, but could be moved into a different classroom between semesters as needed.<u></u><u></u></p>

over the internet. I am interested, though, in a system that allows a student to get equal access over their own devices that they carry around everywhere and without faculty needing to worry about a lapel microphone and the batteries and clunkiness that comes
with it.<u></u><u></u></p>

There are five basic types of assistive listening devices. Some are personal/one-on-one type devices between the instructor and a specific student or students, and there are induction loop types that are used for whole classrooms.<span><u></u><u></u></span></p>
