For Faculty

The Language Resource Center (LRC), located in Lovejoy 404/406, provides a wide range of technological and traditional resources and services for faculty. It:

  • functions as a classroom with 18 Macintosh computers, two Windows workstations, and one teacher’s station. Each station is attached to headphones and a microphone. The teacher’s station connects to a digital projector and has capabilities for displaying Blu-ray DVDs, or a laptop connected through either VGA or HDMI.
  • has two high definition scanners for scanning documents, images, and slides.
  • has workstations that are configured to support different video and audio editing software, such as iMovie, Final Cut Pro, and Audacity.
  • provides group and individual workshops and training sessions to help faculty and students with video and audio editing and other media technology, such as subtitling a film. All lab monitors can help with getting started and troubleshooting.
  • provides large format poster printing for research projects and classes.
  • has DVD, VHS, and cassette readers that can be used to digitize media upon request.
  • has a paper scanner with functionality that allows for scanning negative film slides.

Faculty can reserve the LRC for classes, workshops, or as a place for discussion. Qiuli Wang, the Director of the LRC, can be contacted at [email protected] with any questions. To reserve the LRC, click here.

Faculty planning to use the LRC to proctor virtual examinations may utilize the Apple Remote Desktop software to proctor the exam. This software allows the supervisor to simultaneously observe a live feed of all computers in the lab, with the option to take control of a computer as well. A guide on how to use remote desktop can be found on this page.
