Windows Classroom/Lab A
LRC 101A

The Windows Classroom/Lab A serves multiple purposes in the Instructional Technology Support Center (ITSC). The Departments of Educational Leadership and Elementary and Special Education offer educational technology classes in the classroom in keeping with the ITSC's goal of training pre-service and in-service teachers in the use of instructional technology (Note: these are the only two departments that can schedule classes in the lab on a regular basis). MTSU faculty can reserve the classroom on a limited basis (depending on availability) for hands-on demonstrations and training for their graduate and undergraduate classes. The classroom seats 24. To reserve the classroom, faculty should call Sally Rivera, the ITSC secretary, at 615-898-5191. The classroom is also used for in-service training of K-12 teachers. The classroom is open for use by any MTSU faculty member or student during open access hours each week. All lab users must follow the Lab Rules. For current open access hours, visit our Open Hours for LRC Computer Classrooms/Labs page. Finally, the classroom is used for faculty training.
