Computer Access Lab
What is the Computer Access Lab?
The Computer Access Lab is
accessible to currently enrolled VCC students. UCF students currently
attending the Metro West Campus may also use the lab.
Lab staff are available to assist
even the most novice computer user.
The Computer Access Lab offers a wide variety of software that can help you
complete your assignments, even those that require course specific
software. From typing reports to creating movies and web pages to
accessing the Internet, a full listing of available software can
be found in our software catalog.
We also have a variety of hardware available for student use, including
two color scanners (for course related work only), DVD/CD burners,
pen tablets, a digital camera and two digital camcorders.
The lab has three black and white laser printers (10¢ pp),
as well as one color laser printer (50¢ pp). All printing requires
a copy card, which can be purchased in the Library lobby.
We offer both Macintosh and Windows computers. Students are responsible
for bringing their own storage media, if they wish to save their
files. Since our equipment no longer supports floppy disks; it is
suggested that students use a USB Portable Storage Device (also
known as flash, keychain or thumb drive) or CD-R/CD-RW.
The Lab is also accessible to students with disabilities.
We have workstations that can accommodate a wheelchair, trackballs,
a copy of JAWS, Victor Reader Soft, and software to assist low vision,
as well as hearing impaired, students.
To use the lab students must bring their VID (Valencia Student ID
Card). We require the ID to ensure that only currently enrolled
Valencia students are using the lab. Eligible UCF students must
know their PID # and bring their UCF Student ID Card.
What is the SPACE (Student Production & Collaborative Education)?
The SPACE is a section of the CAL dedicated to developing group projects & presentations.
Students may use this area to work alone or in groups to practice speeches, produce and edit video or create and edit sound files.
In addition to the sofware and most of the equipment that is available in the CAL, SPACE has sound and video editing software (Sound Forge and Vegas Pro 8).
