Whether you decide to use the Faculty of Education’s computer systems for your presentation or to bring in your own laptop, we cannot guarantee that your memory stick or laptop will work with our multi-media systems or computer network. Consequently, you should test for hardware/software compatibility well before your scheduled presentation. Please bring your presentation material (PowerPoint presentations, pictures and movies) on two external media sources (e.g., USB drive and CD-ROM) in case one media source fails or is incompatible with our systems.


 * Access to a Classroom, a Computer and the Internet**: Access to a classroom or other learning environment is desirable but not mandatory for this course. If you have any questions about access to a classroom or the appropriateness of an alternative learning environment, please contact one of the professors on the first day of the Institute. Access to a computer connected to the Internet is mandatory for this course. Please note the on-campus computer labs listed below. If you do not have your own computer or access to the internet at home, please research the alternatives on-campus, as summer hours and facilities may be subject to unscheduled changes and interruptions.
