Computer Classrooms

ITS has constructed a pair of computer-based classrooms for instructional use. Both are located on the third floor of the Humanities building. H302 is equipped with sixteen MPC PC systems, while H304 boasts sixteen Apple Power Macintosh desktop systems. All computers are fully networked, both to on-campus resources and the Internet. Both classrooms are equipped with ceiling-mounted data projectors so that instructors may put examples from their monitors up for the entire class to view. Whiteboards are installed for making notes and diagrams. These rooms have been configured in an open horseshoe design with central discussion tables, to enhance their flexibility for instructors.

Scheduling and Access

Instructors may schedule class meetings in H302 and H304 by contacting David Sisk, either by calling extension 6745 or via e-mail. The computer classrooms are available on a first-come, first-served basis to College faculty and staff. These rooms are intended for special class meetings and projects: they are not available for use as regularly-scheduled class meeting locations.

Instructors planning to use one of the computer classrooms for the first time are strongly encouraged to arrange for a brief introduction to the facilities. To avoid possible problems, instructors who wish to install specialized software should also speak with us at least a week in advance of the planned presentation.

Entry to H302 and H304 is controlled through a card-access system, operating off of Macalester faculty and staff identification cards. Card access is granted to Macalester faculty and staff members through the Safety and Security office. To arrange for card access, call the Director of Security at extension 6218.
