The Great Hall has four microphones which when taken out of the microphone holder will automatically pair. Please leave the microphones on the Pod in the charger holders.

The handheld wireless microphone can be used with the audience. It activates and pairs when it is picked up. Replace it in the docking station after use to ensure the battery is charged for the next use.

The Wacom screen is not just a touchscreen for the PC, but also a writing and drawing tablet to simulate a whiteboard, equipped with an interactive pen. It is digital pen and ink technology, where using software such as Microsoft OneNote, you can display on the video wall to the audience. The pen can be used to write and draw, but also to erase, simply by rotating the pen to use the in-built eraser. PowerPoint slides can not only be presented by using the pen or touchscreen, but also annotated live in class.
