Resource Center Spaces
Space supports function at the Language Resource Center where three octagonal clusters each equipped with seven high-end computers support online testing and international word processing, where a video mini-theater accompanied by video workstations and two High Definition displays supports video viewing, and where our relaxed convivial space equipped with comfortable furniture supports language tutoring, collaborative learning and conversational opportunity. All cluster-based computers provide quiet privacy to their users as they prepare for classes or experience testing online using sound absorbing panels for separation that ensure both work privacy and test security. The video mini-theater provides seven to ten students with a comfortable movie theater experience, providing viewers with the opportunity for discussion and interaction both during and after the video presentation while the convivial space offers students opportunities for linguistic interaction and class project collaboration.
