Each classroom in the ILC is equipped with same basic equipment, however the layout may vary slightly. For example, in some classrooms there are four video projectors, in some three, and in some two. To check the exact configuration, please visit the Features and Floor plans section of this webpage. Below is a general list of the equipment in each ILC classroom.

• A 1.5 GHz Pentium 4 PC with 512 Mb RAM, CD/DVD, Zip, and 3.5 inch floppy drives and Internet access.
• Connection capability for a laptop at the teaching station, with 100 Mb Internet access,
• Docking station for a Macintosh Titanium Laptop,
  
• Multiple high quality video projection units (VPUs): 3 in each of the 2 auditoriums and 2 large classrooms (1 for a large central image, 2 mounted side by side for simultaneous display of 2 images), 4 in the 4 mid-sized classrooms and 2 in the smaller rooms (for simultaneous display),
  
• Electronic white board to enable large screen display of material that is handwritten during class,
  
• Document camera (an Elmo presenter) for large screen display of three-dimensional and printed objects,
  
• Video (VHS, CD, DVD),
  
• Surround-sound, room audio, and speech reinforcement,
• Microphones available upon request
  

We can also provide digital slide projectors for 3x5 slide projection with the following limitations: 1) since the slide is digitized in the projector "on the fly" the quality may not be as good as a digitized slide stored on a disk and 2) the projectors crop the top and bottom 1/8 of the slide if projected in vertical mode.

In addition to this hardware, the following software is provided:

• Microsoft Office XP (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Access, and FrontPage)
• Dreamweaver
• Flash
• Netscape 4.7
• Internet Explorer 6
• QuickTime
• Windows Media Player
