What Computers are Available for Use in Your Classes?

ITS is dedicated to excellence in student computing, and our public computing facilities demonstrate this dedication. The facilities are configured specifically to support the uses of computers and networks within the curriculum. They are the facilities that support your in-class computer use as well as provide out-of-class access to your students.

The Computer Classrooms—CMC 110 and 109

In order to provide a flexible teaching resource for curricular computing, ITS has established two state-of-the-art multimedia computer classroom and presentation facilities. These rooms are designed specifically for computer-based instruction and presentations. They are equipped with around 20 student stations capable of running both Macintosh and Windows environments and software; an instructor station; presentation equipment; high-quality stereo sound; and an instructor's lavaliere microphone. To reserve either facility, or for assistance or suggestions for using the computer classrooms, talk to Kevin Chapman, director of the Student Computing Information Center (x4336).

A guide to using the facilities in CMC 110 is also available.

Other Technology Enhanced Classrooms

ITS has equipped many campus classrooms with ceiling-mounted computer projectors. Most classrooms have a Mac and PC, though some only have one or the other. For a complete list of the equipment in each room, see the Presentation, Events and Production Support (PEPS) website.

Portable Classroom Equipment

On those occasions when the neither the Computer Classrooms nor a technology enhanced classroom is available, or when you wish to use a portable computer and/or projector in any campus classroom, you may borrow the following equipment:

• a Macintosh MacBook Pro
  
• an IBM ThinkPad running Windows
• a portable projector
  

All technology-enhanced classrooms have connections for laptops to be hooked up to the internet and classroom projector.

For further information on this equipment, to reserve the equipment, and to learn how to use it, contact Rapid Response (x5999) for the laptops and PEPS (x7070) for the projectors.

Public Computing Labs

Carleton has a very rich student computing environment, featuring a large number of labs with highly functional computers, laser printing, campus network and Internet access. These labs support students computer-based work outside of the classroom.

For more information, see the Student Computing Information Center list of labs.

Student Computing Information Center (CMC 107)

The SCIC is the central resource for student computing. Here students can obtain assistance, documentation, & e-mail and accounts.
