SSC Network Update
Instructional Computing Room Opens
Douglas Link
Renovations
to Room 1032, the largest undergraduate drop-in computing room, are now
complete. Along with getting a major face-lift, Room 1032 has been
converted into a 52-station instructional lab equipped with Pentium computers,
a ceiling-mounted high-resolution projector, and audio/visual aids to facilitate
hands-on computer-based instruction and learning.
Other teaching facilities in SSCL include Room 1014, the other hands-on
instructional room with 18 workstations, and Room 1000 which is a seminar
teaching room with a seating capacity of 50 students. All rooms are
available to Social Science course instructors and may be booked in advance
through the SSCL Main Office. Note that instructional rooms cannot
be “block booked” for an entire term because of the limited availability
of specialized teaching facilities. When booking Room 1032 or 1014
for hands-on instructional use, please reserve the room that most closely
matches the class size. When not reserved for teaching purposes,
these rooms are open for drop-in use by students.
Use the SSCL Services Calendar to obtain reservation times for
all three teaching rooms. The calendar is available via the
Windows 95 Start menu (Start Þ SSC Network
Þ Assistance and Information). |
