Technology is a critical tipping point in the evolution of teaching and research facilities. In class, we wrestle with what technologies students need to learn. In research, we study communication technology and often employ technology in the process. This panel examines the decision making process for facilities construction and technology purchases from the perspectives of a communication research laboratory (Auburn), HD studio (James Madison), usability teaching lab (Auburn), and field production and classroom technologies (Elon).
