The Center for Learning & Technology


Information Desk
Where you can ask for help or check out equipment
Video Conference Room
Where magical things happen












At the Center for Learning and Technology on the first floor of  Coates Library, I found an array of options for the use of technology in future classes. There were 26 computers: 14 Macs and 12 PCs. Some of them even came equipped with a DVD and VCR player. The CLT has a variety of cameras as well including: action, flip, and DV cameras. In addition, the center can provide microphones, tripods, and headsets. One of the very interesting things we could use for our class was the Smartboard. It will record everything you write on it as well as audio, so the professor or even a student could "teach" a lesson and then let the students watch it. It would probably work best in a mathematics course for explaining how to solve a problem. The video conference room was really cool. We could potentially use it for a guest speaker over Skype.
