Collaboratory Labs

Students in the College of Education and Professional Studies may reserve the Collaboratory Labs, or col-labs, for group work. To reserve a col-lab, speak to a lab monitor in WH-1006.

Google Docs

Google Docs is a great tool available to students for collaborative, real-time editing of documents, presentations and spreadsheets. Files created with Google Docs are similar to those made with Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel. Using Google Docs also allows students to access their files anywhere without carrying them around on a USB flash drive.

Some resources such as scanners, DVD recorders, video editing, and web page development are available for your use through WITRC.
