Our goal is to provide an environment with the latest technology resources to assist faculty, staff and students with teaching and learning.
Our facility provides two multimedia lab classrooms (PC lab and Mac Lab), and one wireless 'smart classroom' for demonstration and instruction. There are scanners, printers, and a color laser printer to be used to develop web and print media. CD-RW drives are installed on all PC computers and on select Macintosh computers. Training in today's desktop application software is available through the CIT's training program. Online, CD, and video tutorials are also available for faculty and staff to use in the lab or office, or to access from home. For lab reservations and calendar, please click here.
The CIT also has digital cameras, video camcorders, Flip video cameras, Sony Digital Recorder, iRiver, and microphones that can be reserved for loan by any faculty or staff person. Please e-mail cit@usfca.edu if you are interested in reserving this equipment.
The CIT's lab monitors are always available during regular lab hours for assistance logging onto the computers and for basic support of the equipment. CIT staff are available for consultation and project support by appointment.
