Hi Barb, I'd include an equipment "depot" where students and/or faculty could borrow digital cameras, flip cameras, microphones, webcams, CD players, MP3 players, etc. for short-term use in language projects. (The equipment should be planned into the original budget and assessed for replacement every three to four years as technologies change.) The depot would include mandatory training sessions (preferably by student workers) on how to use the various items before they were signed out. Our "depot" is one of the most popular places in the lab! Virtually speaking, among other information, the language lab website should include audio, video and printable documentation for using the various items that reside in the language lab and/or are available over the Internet. Tegrity, Camtasia, or other lecture capture programs can be used by both director and staff to create training modules for users. Citations are fine if you're using them for everybody.
