Dear Friends, I am the new language lab coordinator at the University at Albany. As with all instutions we have a space problem. With classrooms at a premium, I have been assigned a small and oddly spaced room (less than 500 square feet in an L shape). Additionally, we have classes that sometimes have 30 students or more. My understanding is that for safety reasons, this room cannot accommodate more than 15 people.
My solution to this is a mobile lab--a laptop cart that can go to the instructors' classrooms. So I would appreciate your thoughts on my dilemma (alternate solutions, caveats in wireless labs, etc).
I am particularly interested in the input of those that have experience with a wireless language lab.
Thanks,
Robert Summers
