Considered by many students to be one of their favorite studying spots, the Learning Lab in 259 Van Hise has recently undergone some small, but significant, changes.
Faculty and staff in the College of Letters & Science have access
to a wide variety of tools for interacting with students and content
online. The latest addition is Adobe Connect - an eLearning &
webconferencing technology that integrates a

Every semester, things just get busier and busier in the L&S AV Pool, and we expect that trend to continue this semester as instructors continue making audio, video, and Internet resources essential elements of classroom instruction.
The UW InfoLabs have implemented a limit on the number of laptops that can be checked out per semester. This was implemented to increase the availability of laptops. It will not affect most patrons, since only a very few actually use a laptop more than 20 times. If you checked a laptop out last semester, you will receive an email notification of the change. The quota system is also referenced in your confirmation emails when you check a laptop out.
