  2. Classroom Technology
    Nearly every classroom, lab, and learning space at Capital features an audio-visual presentation system, allowing instructors and students to incorporate many different types of materials in to a rich, multimedia learning experience . Options include videos and music, internet content, Microsoft Office and other computer documents, textbook images, CD- and DVD-ROMs, small objects, and newspapers and magazines, all displayed on a large screen to the classroom. Users can also connect their own laptops and mobile devices.
