Classroom Training

If you are teaching in a classroom and need training, you may self-enroll in our online Classroom Training Course, delivered through Instructure. This course covers our various types of classrooms, including our new Connected Classrooms, with how-to videos and job aids on operating the equipment. You can also refer to our San Diego Classroom List (pdf) or Imperial Valley Classroom List (pdf) to determine if you are teaching in a TouchLink or Control Panel room. For information on building locations you may check the interactive SDSU Campus Map.

In many cases, access to SDSU classroom equipment requires a 101A key. Instructors are required to be trained in the use of classroom equipment prior to being issued a key. For more information please refer to the key issue policy.

Key Issue Policy

Access to some classroom equipment requires a 101A key. To determine if you are teaching in a classroom requiring a key, please refer to the Connected Classrooms List. Instructors are required to be trained in the use of classroom equipment prior to being issued a key. To request a key, please contact your college's department coordinator, who will initiate an Adobe Sign form to get the key from the Key Issue office. Instructors no longer teaching at SDSU are responsible for returning the 101A key to either their colleges key issue contact, or the SDSU Key Issue office. For further questions regarding 101A key access please call 594-5691.

For any questions regarding Classroom trainings please submit a ServiceNow ticket and one of our staff members will get back to you right away.
