111 has a single touch panel which connects all of the classrooms monitors and inputs into one easy to use touch screen.
The primary screen which will be displayed at the beginning of a session is shown below, and has two primary options - "Dual Projectors" and "Projectors and Monitors"
Projector and Monitor Operation
Selecting the "Dual Projectors" option displays the Local PC onto the left and right projectors mounted to the ceiling.
Selecting the "Projectors and Monitors" option displays the Local PC onto the left and right projectors, as well as the center monitor located between the projectors and the two monitors in the back of 111.
When either initial option is selected the touch screen will display the screen shown below - the following sections describe all of the functionalities.
