>Subject: Re: #9434 IALLT Language Center Design Kit
Hi Barbara,
I am currently adding a small teleconference facility to my lab
space. We have a large teleconference facility across campus, managed
by the central IT people, which works for some classes but is
sometimes hard to schedule as it is becoming more popular.
My room will be comfortable for individual use (we've had requests
for virtual dissertation defenses, job interviews for grad students,
one student here taking a class from a sister campus in a language
not offered at UCI, etc.), and for small classes who want to bring in
a virtual guest speaker or meet with classes at institutions in
countries where the target language is spoken.
These kinds of activities are happening more regularly and my Dean's
office likes the idea of saving some travel money by allowing faculty
and others to participate virtually in meetings as much as possible.
In this way I will serve the whole School of Humanities, but will
mostly focus on uses for language classes. When not being used for
teleconferencing, the space will be available for use by groups for
project work, meetings, etc.
Judi
