Classroom Technology and Computer Labs
Most classrooms at Albright College are equipped with technology to enhance instruction. DSI identifies classrooms by “tiers” to classify what types of technology will be installed in a classroom.
DSI also maintains computer labs in multiple academic buildings on Albright’s Reading, PA campus for use by students, faculty, and staff.
