Introducing a new way to display content. Multiple classrooms have been converted to Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Rooms. There are two ways to display content from your device: direct connect via HDMI or VGA Cables (already provided in rooms), and wirelessly via Wireless Sharelink. Instructions on how to operate the BYOD system can be found below. For UHM faculty and staff using a BYOD classroom that don’t have access to a laptop, please contact CIS for accommodations.
