Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL)
The Center for Teaching and Learning is located in the basement of Crounse Hall. CTL staff office hours are Monday-Friday, 8 am - 12 noon and 1 pm - 4:30 pm. Students can access the CTL Media Lab, also located in the basement of Crounse Hall, using their Centre ID card. Students accessing the lab after hours should remember to shut the door behind them, upon entering the lab; if another student wants in, they must use their ID to enter. We ask that the last person to leave the lab, please turn off the lights and shut the door.
The CTL offers a variety of instructional technology support services and equipment to Centre students. In particular, they assist students with assignments requiring the use of technology. On occasion, a member of the staff will come into a class to teach various skills, such as presentation techniques, audio editing and recording, and collaborative group work, just to name a few. In addition, CTL staff members are available to help students further develop an assigned class project.
In addition to any instructional technology support students might need, the CTL has equipment available for checkout at no charge to the student. Examples of equipment available for checkout include: laptops (both PC & Mac), LCD projectors, projection screens, digital video cameras, digital video camcorders, tripods, and digital voice recorders. No advanced reservations are required when checking out equipment. However, advanced reservations ensure that all batteries will be charged, and that everything is in working order when the equipment is picked up. Advanced reservations can be made at, https://ec.bookedscheduler.com/Web/schedule.php. All equipment MUST be picked up and returned between the hours of 8 am - 12 noon and 1 pm - 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday. The CTL is not open on the weekends.
Fines for Late Return of Checkout Equipment: Since there is not a large quantity of equipment to satisfy the demand, it is necessary to impose fines on students who do not return the equipment in a timely manner. For each hour a piece of equipment is late, you will be assessed a charge of $1.00. All late fees are due to the CTL in cash or by check, or a hold will be placed on your student account. You will be charged the full replacement value of the equipment not returned after you have been sent three notices by the CTL.
Classroom Reservations: If you need to reserve a classroom in the evening or during non-class hours, like common hour, you can make these reservations online through the EventCentre Calendar & Reservations System, https://eventcentre.bookedscheduler.com/Web/schedule.php. The CTL office works together with the Department of Public Safety to ensure the rooms you reserve are unlocked. Should you have any special technology needs for your meeting or event, make your equipment requests via the online system at https://ec.bookedscheduler.com/Web/schedule.php at least two days in advance. If you require additional assistance, contact the CTL two weeks before your event to discuss the possibility of special arrangements.
