  • A multi-workstation computer classroom with internet access and standard web browsers for each machine
  • An instructor's workstation with projection capabilities in the computer classroom

   Sample Schedules
We now offer several schedules based on the size of your computer classroom(s) and the expected number of participants. These guidelines assume that all participants will attend both computer workshops.

Please note that if you want to use more than one computer classroom, we can generally support teaching in only two computer classrooms simultaneously.

These schedules are only guidelines. We will work with you to customize the schedule to accommodate your specific situations.

Schedule 1: A one-day course
Designed for small courses where the computer classroom(s) will accommodate all of the participants.
Example: Your computer classroom has 25 stations and you expect no more than 25 participants.

Schedule 2: A two-day course
Designed for larger courses where the number of participants is less than twice the capacity of the available computer classroom(s).
Example: You have two computer classrooms that have 15 stations each and you expect no more than 60 participants.
