What technologies are available for student learning?

Audio-visual support services are extensive at the Brookdale Health Science campus. Advanced technological features enable instructors to use multiple media and viewing devices for teaching as well as quickly access live internet sites during class. Many classrooms have wireless internet availability and there are several computer labs on the campus accessible to students.

The Health Professions Education Center, located on the mezzanine level of the West Building at Brookdale, maintains an extensive library of videos. In addition, the media center offers students use of computers for technology-based instruction.

The Health Professions Library, located on the second floor of the West Building at Brookdale, has collections supporting the academic and research needs of the campus as well as its own computer lab.

Hunter College subscribes to Blackboard 8 which allows for postings, discussions, uploading and downloading of files, communication, and information sharing, per registered class. It is left to each course instructor's decision as to what extent Blackboard is used. COMSC encourages full-time and adjunct faculty to take advantage of Blackboard's features.

Finally, COMSC's clinic, the Hunter College Center for Communication Disorders, engages technology as a teaching tool in the clinic via secure dvd recordings, computer access, voice analysis equipment and real-ear hearing aid measurement.
