The Academic Technology Lab (ATL), located in Meyer Library room 181, is a resource center for faculty and TA's interested in integrating technology into their teaching.
Faculty also receive assistance integrating technology tools into their courses. ATL staff provide consultations for web-based forums and Stanford's online course management system, CourseWork.
New Software
The ATL has recently upgraded software. They now have iLife '05 for those faculty and TAs interested in user-friendly applications for digital video editing, image capture, and audio creation. iLife '05 includes iPhoto 5, iMovie HD, iDVD 5, GarageBand 2 and iTunes4.7. To accommodate demands for higher end digital video editing and DVD creation needs, the ATL has installed the Apple Production Suite, which includes Final Cut Pro HD, DVD Studio Pro 3 and Apple Motion. The Lab has also updated their digital audio editing software to include SoundSoap 2, which provides high-quality noise reduction with an easy-to-use one-click audio cleaning interface. New features for version 2 are Remove Click & Crackle and Enhance.
New Hardware
In addition to the software upgrades, the ATL now also has a Lacie 16x d2 External Firewire and USB Dual Layer DVD Burner, which saves you time when writing large numbers of discs. It writes a full DVD+/-R disc in under 5 minutes, a full DVD+/-RW disc in about 15 minutes and a full DVD+R9 disc in about 30 minutes. The drive supports DVD+R DL dual layered media, which has a capacity of 8.5GB per disc.
