Music Department Electronic Classroom
The Music Department Electronic Classroom (MDEC) is located in Building (M) in room M335 (next door to the Music/Humanities Lab). Its purpose is to offer faculty and students a state-of-the-art electronic classroom in order to enhance their teaching and learning experience. The MDEC is equipped with 28 high-speed Apple computer work stations that have T1 Internet Connections, scanner, Roland JV-1080 sound modules, as well as Macromedia Studio MX, Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator and GoLive), Reason, Digital Performer, Finale, Bias Studio and too many others to mention, facilitating the creation of virtually any project.
There is a specially designed Faculty Presentation Station, which employs the latest technology to deliver instruction to the class through Apple's Remote Desktop software, LCD projector and video feeds throughout the classroom. The MDEC has 28 high-speed Apple computers including a ProTools based digital audio recording station. These computer stations also have audio, video and MIDI hardware as well as industry standard music, graphics page layout and web page development software.

We also have the Faculty Presentation Station (above) specifically for faculty and their class sessions. This station features a projector; closed circuit TV network, which allows the faculty presentations to be viewed through TV monitors that are placed throughout the room; and Apple's Remote Desktop software, which allows the faculty to share the faculty computer with the students as well as monitor and control their computers.
