The DVZ includes an 80-inch flat panel monitor with USB ports and HDMI connections, allowing students to view sample data visualization projects and research data to deepen their data literacy skills. Visit the Service Desk on the first floor of the Library to check out an HDMI cable to connect laptops or a wireless keyboard to the Windows PC linked to the 80” monitor.

Practice Zone

This collaborative work space in the Dragons' Learning Den includes an 80" ThinkHub monitor with a multiuser software app designed to help groups brainstorm, collaborate, visualize and problem solve together on screen. Students can share content from their personal devices using an app (Air Connect). Students can view content from multiple devices/users at one time. The monitor can be surrounded by mobile white boards and includes soft stair-style seating, creating a small-theatre ambience to support collaborative rehearsals, practice and design.
