Hands-on Instruction Rooms

Faculty and teaching staff can reserve one of two rooms for hands-on multimedia instruction. The classrooms offer Windows and Macintosh multimedia-production computers and a full range of software. Room B features a flexible instruction station location, a rack system with DVD player and wireless mics, and a video camera input to the projector. Faculty and teaching staff may request equipment kits, such as cameras, microphones, lighting, and tripods, as part of their reservation to complement the use of either room.

When they are not reserved for larger group work, the rooms are open to individuals or small groups on a first-come-first-served basis.
