Using the Digital Studio to advance the use of technology in the academic environment

The Teaching & Learning team of CIT collaborates with faculty, staff, and students to proactively promote and facilitate the use of technology in the academic environment.

One of the resources available to help you is the Digital Studio. The Digital Studio has high-end computers so you are able to work with audio, video, graphic design and other items using equipment and software that is not available in other locations on-campus.

The Digital Studio (HL121) is open 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Monday - Friday. During this time you are welcome to come and use any of the Digital Studio equipment. Don't know how to edit your digital audio, scan pictures or use other technology? Come to the Digital Studio and we'll teach you how to do-it-yourself. Have an idea but don't even know where to begin? Please talk to one of the Teaching & Learning staff members. They will discuss your ideas with you and get you headed in the right direction.
