The ACCelerator features classrooms, study rooms, and numerous computer pod stations that can be reserved by ACC faculty and staff for a variety of purposes. Whether you want to teach an in-person or distance learning synchronous (DLS) class, hold a meeting, or do some lesson planning, you\u2019ll be able to take full advantage of the ACCelerator\u2019s many support services and technological resources. In addition, ACCelerator staff provides continuous technology support and training.<\/p>\n<p>The ACCelerator has established new Distance Learning Synchnronous (DLS) Hubs. DLS hubs are for classes where instruction is fully online with required online meetings. DLS Hubs come with SmartTV, Wireless Mouse &amp; Keyboard, Lecturn, Laptop connections, and other equipment needed. If DLS hubs are fully reversed, accommodations can be made to support faculty in other areas within the ACCelerators.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Highland:<\/strong>&nbsp;(4) DLS Hubs\/Spaces<br \/><strong>Round
