Library Adds New Electronic Classroom

by Sylvia Ortiz, Associate Professor, Branson Reference, sortiz@lib.nmsu.edu

The Branson Hall Title V Classroom is nearing completion in time for New Mexico State University’s Fall Semester. An area on the third floor east of Branson Hall has been renovated with funds from a U.S. Department of Education Title V campus-wide grant from the Developing Hispanic-Serving Institutions Program. The new electronic classroom will serve primarily to teach NMSU faculty members how to incorporate teaching technologies into their curricula. A schedule of classes will be announced. The menu of possible teaching technologies includes Microsoft Powerpoint, WebCT, Microsoft Front Page and Adobe Illustrator, among others. If you are interested in particular software, contact Sylvia Ortiz, Library project director, at 646-7481 or sortiz@lib.nmsu.edu and offer your suggestions.
