Penn State Schuylkill is preparing campus facilities for students’ return, taking special precautions to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 for in-person classes and installing state-of-the-art technology to enhance remote learning.
The Morgan Auditorium usually plays host to Penn State Schuylkill's theatre students and large events, but will be used as an atypical learning space in the fall 2020 semester as the large space allows for students and faculty to maintain social distancing. Every other row is closed, and students attending classes in the Morgan will have three empty seats between them.
HoverCams are document cameras that allow faculty and students to stream close-up views of documents and more to remote learners. These will be especially handy as students rotate into and out of science labs.
