AT&T Center for Learning and Technology

    Our visit to the AT&T Center for Learning and Technology made me aware of many different resources that I have at my fingertips here at Trinity that I never knew existed.  I was especially pleased to learn that with permission from a faculty or staff member, students can borrow digital cameras, and video and cassette recording equipment; the CLT staff will actually deliver equipment such as slide projectors and screens, microphones, DVD and VHS players, lecterns, and cassette players to students and faculty who have presentations or special events. 

    The first room we were shown housed the The Studios @ CLT.  Although I have used The Studios before, I was not aware that the film scanners and digital cameras were available to students.  We were told that that they have a variety of creation software including Adobe, Macromedia, Sony/Vegas, Roxio, and Apple.  

    We were then shown the Digital Audio Lab, the Innovation Studio, the Video Conference Center, and the Media Presentation Lab.  The latter lab was of particular interest to me; the Media Presentation Lab is designed for student and faculty use and can be either reserved or used whenever its unoccupied.  This lab has a touch board, smart board, and a roll-in polycom; the room its self seats up to fifteen and often hosts students and faculty who are creating formal presentations.  

    I really learned a lot about CLT from this visit, and now that I know what all is available to me will certainly be taking advantage of this great resource.
