Teacher station where instructors control and monitor interactive learning activities in the language computer lab. Central alumni and guests at Homecoming 2001 enjoy a demonstration of activities that can be done in the lab.

Central College has an interactive computer language lab which can be used by classes and individual students to supplement traditional methods of language learning. Located in the Weller Center, room 102, this lab has 26 student computer stations and a teacher station, with which teachers can organize a variety of conversational activities such as telephone, conference groups and written chat groups. The system allows for use of both digital and analog sound recordings for student listening activities and recording the voices of multiple students at one time. The room also offers full internet and campus network access from each terminal. 

The lab classroom and several other classrooms in the building also offer computer, video and document projection capabilities and CD and cassette tape audio with speakers in the ceilings.

In addition, the campus cable system carries a French channel TV-5 (Campus channel 40) and the Spanish cable network Univisión (Campus channel 41), as well as international news from around the world via SCOLA (Campus channel 12). Students can watch these programs from their residences on campus and the channels are also available for use by professors in several rooms in the Weller Center.
