<p class="MsoNormal">We have this system set up in one of our classrooms. We had to put up a sign to read “microphone is always active,” given anyone can take a scan of the QR code and listen into the classroom from anywhere within the range of the campus and
they have since added the talk back feature through its Mobile Connect app. While I need to get some updates from our audio-visual department, I would think by now; they have some security features that can be activated to offer some level of privacy.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">Our Campus Technology Resources folks came to us with this new technology that does not seem to be mentioned on those webpages. It involves a
<a href="https://www.sennheiser.com/en-us/catalog/products/meeting-and-conference-systems/teamconnect-ceiling-2/teamconnect-ceiling-2-black-509161?utm_source=linkshare&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=generic&utm_term=3829940&ranMID=42592&ranEAID=%2FjZHTpnCvx8&ranSiteID=_jZHTpnCvx8-gEwW3BvssATzne7C1pNv0g&LSNSUBSITE=Omitted_%2FjZHTpnCvx8&utm_medium=CPA&utm_source=Linkshare&utm_campaign=%2FjZHTpnCvx8">
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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">They are interested in experiences that other campuses have had with these systems, as they want to choose the right product to test out. One concern I have would be any lag between the professor’s speech in the room and it coming through
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.<o:p></o:p></p>
