Each student machine in Williams 217 and 310 has an internet connection, accepts external storage devices through a USB port, and has a headphone jack for listening to student projects with audio components. The student machines in 217 and 310 also have a number of programs installed on every machine.

These programs give students the opportunity to workshop ongoing multimedia and multimodal projects, collaborate on short projects during class, and seek advice from instructors and their peers about ways of combining audio, visual, and textual elements in their writing. If you have an assignment planned that requires a program that is not installed on these machines, contact the Computer Writing Classroom administrators.
