CLT (AT&T Center for Learning and Technology)

I knew about the CLT lab because on my second day on campus my suite mate and I explored the library. We went down to the bottom floor because it looked dark and ominous, then lo and behold--the CLT lab with a friendly staff! One of the people who worked there briefly explained what the lab was for and its capabilities, but of course with all the new information I was getting about everything on the Trinity University campus, I sort of forgot most of what he said. I have used the CLT once this year for a Drama project. I had to show how I would make the design set for a stage, so I used the CLT's Windows systems to utilize Photoshop so I could manipulate pictures I found on the Internet. CLT has an area with Windows and Macs, digital audio lab, media presentation lab, video conference center, and an innovation studio. All of these facilities are available to students either on a walk-in basis or by appointment. If you need help with anything the CLT staff is there to assist you, and will even do some things for you for a small fee. There is also equipment to rent out, such as cameras, video recorders, and even external storage units. I will probably use the CLT lab for a study area because it is quiet. I could use the digital audio lab if I wanted to record myself playing the cello for an audition tape. The media presentation lab would be nice to use to run through a presentation in a classroom setting. I will probably use the computers down in CLT for our class because I don’t really want to download Photoshop on my computer and I am always in the library anyways.
