DISCIPLINE-SPECIFIC CLASSROOMS

There are 17 computer labs equipped with software and peripheral hardware that are specialized for academic majors. The state-of-the-art technologies in these labs allow for specialized instruction designed for specific disciplines. The graphics art lab has the latest multimedia graphics technology and is used by students in the undergraduate multimedia graphic design major and the e-learning graduate program. The Biology Imaging Learning Lab (BILL) with networked microscopes, computers and digital cameras allows students and faculty to capture digital microscope images and incorporate them into lab reports and Web sites or display them for the entire class to see. The English labs are networked with special editing software so that students and faculty can exchange and edit each others’ documents. The foreign language lab is equipped for students to practice their verbal and listening skills and to interact with students from other campuses and foreign countries using videoconference capabilities. The music keyboard lab empowers students to compose music on the piano and simultaneously create musical notation. This keyboard lab also provides online interactive tutorials for music students. In the physics lab, simulations allow students to study the physics of events, such as collisions, which were previously impossible to study in a classroom. NSU also has two mobile labs, the mobile tablet lab for the School of Education and the mobile laptop lab for Health and Physical Education. These mobile labs are available for students to use courses, helping to prepare them to work with current technologies.
