The computer Lab-in-a-Box consists of 30 wireless
laptop computers in a large rolling cart; the cart acts as the
home base to recharge and store the laptops until they are ready
to be delivered to a classroom. The computers use the wireless
network in Allgood Hall to access the Internet; they also run
other software applications such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint or
SPSS.

Information
Technology Services strives to keep up with new
releases of software and hardware. When new products become available,
we begin research of the package as it pertains to functionality
in a stand-alone and a networked environment. Our goal is to
support the most recent release plus one revision below, but
in this world of rapidly changing technology, this is often a
difficult task.
In addition, we have standardized our software purchases as
much as possible to keep the costs manageable. The campus has
invested in software site-licenses and we take advantage of free
or shareware software whenever possible.
