Computer Lab Updates for Fall 2007

The two upstairs computer labs, 241 and 247 Olson, now have new computers:

• 241 Olson has new iMacs that are Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.16GHz with 2GB of RAM.
• 247 Olson has new Mac Books that are Intel Core 2 2.0GHZ also with 2GB of
  RAM.
  

Both upstairs rooms are running OS X 10.4.10, and should be running the Office 11.3.7 updates by the time classes begin.

 

Reserving a Computer Lab

In order reserve a computer lab, first find which labs are available at http://clm.ucdavis.edu/calendars/2008/. Click on any particular lab you have in mind listed across the very top of the screen, then select a month a bit further down and scroll to the week in question.

Once you've found an empty time slot in a given lab, send e-mail to lab-reserve@ucdavis.edu or call (530)752-8549. Requests for reservations can be submitted up to one year or four academic quarters (two summer sessions would count as one academic quarter) in advance, whichever is more. Please reserve the classroom at least two weeks prior to the start of the class.

You can also simply call "4-LABS," or 754-5227, and request classroom hours and info.

 

Teaching in a General Assignment (non-CAI) Classroom

If you want to teach with technology (say, a laptop) in a traditional classroom without computers, check this site to determine the room's media capabilities. Just click on "Room Lookup" in the left-hand menu, then select your classroom from a pull-down list.

I have also put together some basic instructions on laptop hookup to a clasroom Smartpanel, as well as info on laptop projection and wireless access.
