One USQ Connectivity Projects
Teaching Space Upgrade

A full year of consultation and design culminated
in early 2016 in the completion of the first round
of standards based teaching space upgrades in

of Standards for USQ teaching space AV also

Hands on support for use of the spaces during
Orientation Week and the first week of Semester

baseline and consultation information were also
key outputs of round one upgrades. A survey will
be released shortly to collect on-going feedback
on and experiences with the upgraded space
technology. Feedback can also be provided at any
time to Spotlight on ICT.
