The Olga M. Ficarra / Francis J. Morison Language Laboratory
Lincoln Center Campus, Lowenstein: Room 412

The Olga M. Ficarra / Francis J. Morison Language Laboratory is a multi-use, interactive, computer based facility with CD-ROM, audio, video and DVD capabilities all interfaced to 25 student work stations and connected to a master control console. The Lab is designed to accommodate users individually or in groups in an independent and/or monitored atmosphere.

All work stations are fitted with up-to-date computers, periodically upgraded to meet the highest standards of current technology. Each position also houses the very latest in audio/recording hardware. Computers offer zip drives, CD-ROM/DVD drives, internet access, voice recognition software and video viewing options in various formats. The audio/recording assembly allows for traditional listening and dubbing as well as selected repetition through internal memory and search modes.

The master control console houses several high-tech, computerized devices which enable instructors to interact with students on an individual and/or group basis. This control unit is electronically designed for the simultaneous transmission of CD-ROMs, DVDs, computer software, audio programs and video programs, thus making a variety of language oriented activities available at any given time.

The facility also features a sophisticated projection system which will accommodate groups of up to 25 students for the viewing of multimedia presentations in various formats..
