Instructor Computer

GWLABA has been converted to hybrid lecture room with wheeled modular furniture for flexible configurations.  The room still includes an instructor PC, laptop hookups (VGA or HDMI), document camera and a color printer. A laptop cart can be provided if needed for up 12 additional people (see pictures below). 

To log in to the instructor station, you can use the default account by hitting enter on the keyboard. You can log in using your HCC Login credentials by selecting "Other User," located in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen. Please restart the computer if the default account is not shown on the screen. 

Please do not save files on the instructor station. User profiles are regularly wiped from the computer, and any saved information will be lost. 

USB ports are located on the front of the instructor's computer and the left side of the instructor station monitors.
