Computer Classrooms for Reservation
Language Center classrooms provide an equitable, inclusive learning experience where all students access the same technology together in a supported environment.
The Language Center maintains four Mac computer classrooms. They can be reserved in advance for use with language and culture classes or special events and workshops. All rooms have 25-30 student computers along with an instructor's computer.
A data projector in each room allows for projection from the installed instructor computer, document camera, player or personal laptop. Other features include an electric projection screen along with wired and wireless internet access. Instructors can video record or conference in two of the classrooms.
All four classrooms feature Northwestern Digital Language Lab (DiLL) audio lab software. This software provides an intuitive interface for instructors to pair students, monitor their conversations and set up recordings. Student recordings are saved automatically and can be reviewed by instructors through the Mac DiLL website.
