Hardware Recommendations

In an effort to assist you in choosing an interactive board, we have provided some information and resources to answer some common questions when purchasing this type of equipment.

Since there may be other costs associated with the installation of one of these recommended units, and all of the systems below require a computer and a video projector to operate correctly, please consult with Media Technology Services Project Management department, 617.552.8475 or clements@bc.edu, before you purchase an interactive white board or annotation display.

Support: Information Technology Services staff can assist you with using this technology, but are not certified to address hardware failures; therefore we strongly recommend you purchase any warranties or service agreements that are available.
