I have visited the A T & T Center for Learning and Technology several times this past school year. I come to CLT because I have a difficult time using Adobe Photoshop and needed to use the program to make flyers for Amnesty International (a club I participate in on campus.) Taking a tour of the facility with my Computer class was an eye-opening experience.
The Center for Learning and Technology is located on the first floor of Coates Library. When you first walk into CLT you see large Mac monitors and Windows monitors. This main area is referred to as the Studios at CLT. This is the area I have always worked in because the computers have audio/video editing stations, web/graphic design stations, and more.
Next, we were shown the Media Presentation Lab. This room has a large monitor, a Smart Board system, surround sound, and more. The lab is mostly used for video conferences, movie showings, and class presentations. I have watched the Motorcycle Diaries in the Media Presentation Lab for my Political Science classroom. Here is a picture of my friend, Bets, in the Media Presentation Lab:
Next, we were shown the Innovation Studio which has a large Smart Board and a projector.
This room is most often used for training but students are always allowed to work in the room when it is not in use. In this picture, we see a student working on homework in the Innovation Studio:
Attached to the Innovation Studio is the Digital Sound Lab, which is equipped with incredibly cool sound equipment. Any student can go into the lab and record any type of audio. In this picture, I am testing the equipment:
Any student can rent equipment from CLT: from digital cameras to video cameras to projectors! This was very helpful information because I need a video camera for my Sociology class project. I was so glad that our computer class took a tour of the CLT facilities. Here is a picture of me and our tour guide, Greg:
