The College has a number of spaces for learning about and exploring the use of technology in teaching and learning, from labs to specialty classrooms.
The Multimedia Resource Center (MRC), 324 Stein, houses the Educational Technology staff, and supports students from both the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures and the Department of Spanish with an array of specialized tutorial software. The MRC lab also functions as the repository of most foreign film and reserve items for the Holy Cross Library.
The 24-seat Scalia Classroom is on the 2nd floor of Dinand Library. With 14 dual-boot Mac/Windows computers, an instructor workstation, movable furniture, and a high-resolution video camera for recording classroom sessions, Scalia is a flexible space for teaching, active learning, and collaboration. Faculty and instructional staff can reserve Scalia for sessions requiring computer resources.
Located in room 324F of the Multimedia Resource Center, the sound-reduced Podcast Room is ideal for recording podcasts, readings, lectures, Skype interviews, captioning video, recording video, and sound editing. To reserve the Podcast Room, and for more information, click here.
The Technology Mini Sandbox, on the second floor of Dinand Library, is administered by the Center for Teaching. It is open by reservation or drop-in (M - F 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM).
