Summary
There are approximately 6 different Podium setups that you may encounter across campus. While the interface will vary slightly, the concepts of how to use the different setups will be very similar. ITS, in conjunction with the DMA 255 class, have created an instructional video on how to use the two most common podium setups across campus.
