The English Department has two computer labs. The English Instructional Computer Lab is located in BAL 2019 and the CeME Lab  is in BAL 2027.

English Department Instructional Computer Lab (Batten Arts and Letters 2019)

This lab has 24 Macintosh stations with software meant to accommodate the incorporation of technology into writing instruction. It is equipped with software to do a variety of new media composition types including image, sound, and video.

The English Department Instructional Computer Lab (BAL 2019) may be reserved by any English instructor for class meeting times. To sign up for times for your English courses to meet in BAL 2019, please email Dr. Julia Romberger.

If the English department computer lab is booked, faculty may schedule English classes in the OCCS-run computer labs on the first floor of BAL (rooms 1013 A, B, and C).  To reserve those labs, email the Lab Reservation Coordinator at occshelp@odu.edu or telephone 757.683.5156.

Center for Mediated Experience (Batten Arts and Letters 2027)

The Center for Mediated Experience (CeME) is an interdisciplinary lab focused on innovating
and enhancing our experiences with technology. Through partnerships, consulting, and research
projects, our researchers participate in projects whose outcomes are aimed at improving the use
of digital technologies.

There are three major areas of focus for CeME:

• Research Partnership activities include collaborating with academic, industry, and
  community organizations who are working on projects that can advance knowledge about
  mediated experience while applying their real-world impact. Such projects include
  participatory design, usability, information modeling, visual/textual analysis, and qualitative
  organizational studies.
  
• Experience Consulting projects include the design and evaluation of products and services.
  Our researchers can help advise on the usability and findability of websites, applications, and content development. In our lab and at your site, we can conduct usability testing, heuristic evaluations, and design assessments.
  
• Teaching with Digital Technologies allows our researchers to train the next generation of
  experience architects, professional writers, and designers, involving them in both research
  and practical application activities on the undergraduate and graduate level at Old Dominion
  University.
