In autumn 1993 a multimedia lab consisting of 20 Macintosh computers was set up
for the Faculty's language students. Each work station is equipped with a
videodisc player and is connected to Tandberg's IS10 panel.
The software - which has been developed in-house - covers several of the 1st year
students' activities, such as practising language skills and studying
civilization by means of interactive video. In addition, there exists a wide
range of textual programs for the testing of grammar, vocabulary and phonetics.
Although the software is mainly aimed at students of English or Italian, some
additional programs in Spanish, French and German are also available.
Senior Lecturer Signe Marie Sanne will give a demonstration of the lab and show
examples of various programs.
