 Subject: MASSMAIL - Standard resolution for ITS classroom computers

UIUC faculty and staff,

This message is for those of you who use the audiovisual equipment in the 
Integrated Teaching Systems (ITS) classrooms on campus.  Our office will 
be making a change starting with the Fall 2005 semester.  At that time, 
all the ITS resident computers will be set to a standard screen 
resolution of 1024 by 768.  We hope that by making this announcement well 
in advance of the change we will give instructors plenty of time to make 
any necessary changes.  Staying consistent across classrooms means that 
instructors will not have to change their content when they teach in 
different classrooms.

Currently, most of the resident computers are at 800 by 600, but many 
applications are requiring a higher resolution and 1024 by 768 has become 
the resolution of choice for the majority of campus computer users.  
Also, the native resolution of the LCD projectors currently installed in 
all the ITS classrooms is 1024 by 768. 

To see some of our suggestions for improving your presentations, 
including handling resolutions, go to our website at:

If you have questions, please contact us at 333-8165 or by e-mail at 
classtech@uiuc.edu.
