Welcome
This page covers everything instructors need to use the MLL Labs with their classes: reserving a room, the software and equipment available, requesting films, and giving students remote access to course audio/video.
Reserving Merrick 201 or Merrick 205
Instructors may reserve the Modern Languages Laboratory (MB 201) or the Teaching Computer Lab (MB 205) during class time for activities such as: using lab computers to access language-related websites and news, guiding students through internet-based activities, working through audio/visual exercises from the class workbook, using software available in the Lab, or holding a Zoom Virtual Immersion session.
To reserve a room, check the Lab Calendar first to confirm availability, then email the IT Lab Manager with your course, the date and time block you need, and the room (MB 201 or MB 205). You'll receive a confirmation once your request is fulfilled.
