Notes:

Mission The mission of the Digital Learning Collaboratory is to support and facilitate integrated learning of information and technology literacy for Purdue University students.

The Program
The Purdue Libraries and Information Technology at Purdue combined resources in 2002 to create the Digital Learning Collaboratory. The DLC offers an interdisciplinary instructional program integrated with the University curriculum in a state-of-the-art facility staffed and equipped for multimedia development. The DLC partners with faculty to help enhance their course curriculum. The type of instruction, projects, and activities vary according to the type of course and needs of the faculty. (For more information, visit the instruction section of the web site.) One-on-one research and development advisory is available to students upon request. Workshops are available for students to learn about specific research and development tools and applications.

The Facility
The DLC is located in the Hicks Undergraduate Library (HIKS B853). This cutting-edge facility provides students the opportunity to utilize workstations for accessing electronic resources, scanning documents, capturing images, 3-D development & rendering, web development, as well as editing and compressing digital video and audio. Apart from a large multimedia development area, the DLC features a wireless instructional area, equipment checkout, and collaboration rooms. The checkout equipment includes laptops, digital cameras, digital camcorders, tripods, and external firewire hard drives.
