Technology Tools and Services
Riverland provides a variety of technology tools and services to support teaching, learning, and daily campus operations. This page connects you to resources for software, systems, and technical support available to students, faculty, and staff.
Clevertouch interactive displays
Clevertouch interactive displays are large (75” - 86”) touchscreens/tablets on roll-around carts. The displays can handle 10 simultaneous touches, so multiple people can be drawing on them at once. They’re great for in-class projects or group work in meetings. You can use them as electronic whiteboards--add new pages as you go--and save it afterwards as a pdf to share in D2L Brightspace or via email. You can reserve them for your classes/meetings via Outlook.
MediaSpace
MediaSpace is a cloud-based program provided by the Minnesota State system office. It is a streaming media server, which allow you to upload all types of media--video, audio, and image files--which you can then insert into your online courses for use by students. Students also have access to MediaSpace, so they can use it for creating and submitting media-based assignments for their classes.
