Classrooms

Academic Computing Services supports several innovative technology-rich classrooms in Meyer Library.

Other technology-enhanced classrooms are managed by the Registrar's Office.

CourseWork and Stanford Syllabus

CourseWork is Stanford's online learning management and collaboration environment, and Stanford Syllabus is a central online repository of course syllabi.

Digital Humanities

Academic Computing Services has a Digital Humanities Specialist program to support faculty creation of digital scholarly media projects through a proposal process.

Digital Language Lab

The Digital Language Lab is Stanford's multilingual computing facility.  Its three teaching spaces support language instruction and also serve as workshop and studio space for foreign language teaching and learning.

iPads for Learning Program

The iPads for Learning initiative is a trial program by Academic Computing Services (ACS) and the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) to provide iPads for use in academic classes or workshops. iPads are available for learning and teaching opportunites and faculty can submit proposals for short-term usage (workshops) or for as long as a quarter. 

Multimedia Services

The Meyer Tech Desk provides many services including large-format poster printing; equipment for loan, such as laptops, cameras, and projectors; and consulting support for the Multimedia Studio's digital video editing suites.

Software and Courseware Requests

The availability of software applications on public computers may vary by location. If you have questions about available software, or if you are an instructor with a request for software you would like installed on our public computers, email imaging@rescomp.stanford.edu. Please allow up to nine weeks for new software requests, which is typically how long it takes us to ensure proper licensing and test for technical feasibility.
