Interactive Map
 A
new addition to the Queens College Web site, an interactive map
of the campus, is now available at http://www.qc.edu/Map .
Moving your mouse over a building on the map will bring up a picture
and information about that building. Clicking on the building will
take you to that building's page, which contains information such
as the building's history, departments housed in it, and hyperlinks
to those departments. There is also a listing of the buildings'
abbreviations and a version that you can print out, in color, for
future reference.
Our next step will be to create virtual reality tours of the various
buildings on campus. Stay tuned!

Student Internships
OCT and the Computer Science Department have recently
initiated a student internship program. Selected students
have been assigned to various academic and administrative departments
on campus that need assistance with their Web sites. This
may consist of updating, revising or creating a web presence for
departments without one. Students will receive credit for
their efforts. We hope to continue this program on a semester
basis. If you are interested in using a student intern, please
email us at webmaster@qc.edu
Spring 2004 Workshops
There's still time to take a Friday morning Technology
workshop. Introductory and intermediate Excel classes will be taught
on April 23 and April 30, respectively. May 7 and May 14
will bring an introductory and intermediate class in Access. For
full details, go the the registration
page of the Educational Technology Web site.
Computer Lab Request Form
To reserve an OCT computer classroom/lab, an online
reservation request form has been provided at http://www.qc.edu/OCT/lab_request_form/.
We will no longer accept phone or paper reservation forms.
When you submit the request, we will send you an email to verify
that we have received it. When we have determined the classroom/lab
availability, we will send you an email confirmation. Please
note that all software that is needed by the instructor in the
classroom/lab must be requested 12 weeks before the semester so
that we may obtain the licenses and install the software.
3M Boards in Powdermaker
This innovative board integrates multimedia projection, a digital
whiteboard and multi-site meeting capabilities into one interactive
work board. It is similar to the Smartboard but differs in its
functionality.
The 3M Board can be used as a stand alone board or it can be connected
to a laptop to display the internet and DVDs from a player. PowerPoint
presentations can be projected; you can make notes, highlight
and save the presentation, or capture the screen, write notes in "virtual
ink", send them via the internet, or post them on Blackboard.
The 3M boards are located in Powdermaker 331, 212, 208, and 002.
If you are scheduled for any of these rooms and would like to use
the board, please call Media Services at 5060 to make arrangements
for training well in advance of your scheduled class date.
