I teach Exhibition Design in the Graduate Program at New York University, and I use projections from my lap top for virtually every class. Not only can I outline subject matter through Power Point, I am able to show shots of exhibitions from all over the country; images generously provided by my colleagues in NAME. The University provides the projector to which I connect my computer, and the images are clear, and can be scrolled through with ease. As for double images for comparison, it is a relatively straightforward matter to juxtapose photos using the program in preparation for the class. If you are computer-literate (I use a PC and Microsoft software), this is a relatively straightforward program to learn, and should not require a workshop. If the school does not have a projector for computer generated images, it will cost the institution at least a couple of thousand dollars to purchase one, based on my investigation. At least $150 to rent in New York, so best to check with your school's audio/visual people. Hope this helps. Feel free to contact me on- or off-line.
