We live in a multilingual, multicultural world. The Global Studio exists to help members of the University of Richmond community use technology effectively to communicate in this world.
Technology-enhanced language learning is an important focus of the Studio. Its state-of-the-art computers, configured for multilingual computing, are used for both class instruction and self-directed learning. Cable television, VCRs, and DVD players provide opportunities for video-based learning. A screening room is available for both faculty and student use. The large screen and surround sound allow groups to enjoy DVDs, videotapes, and videodiscs in a theater-like environment. The Studio encourages collaborative work and the development of multimedia materials by both faculty and students.
The Studio's physical location is Puryear Hall G-15, home of the Department of Latin American and Iberian Studies and the Department of Modern Literatures and Cultures. The courses and programs of these departments guide the Studio's activites. However, all members of the Richmond community are encouraged to use the Studio's resources to explore languages, literatures, and cultures.
Keep up with what's new in the Studio! The Out of the Basement blog has weekly schedules and information about new resources, services, and workshops. Quick updates and reminders are available through the Studio's Twitter feed. Occasional newsletters for faculty, staff, and language learners feature new tools and services.
