Center for Computer Assisted Learning (CCAL)
The Center for Computer Assisted Learning (CCAL) within the library is a microcomputer laboratory, designed to provide students access to both commercial and faculty-developed instructional software and problem-based Computer Aided Instructional (CAI) programs, complementing various courses in the curriculum. In addition, CCAL provides students supplemental instructional programs and the capability to conduct on-line database searches.
The Center provides student
access to the Internet, e-mail, word processing, spreadsheet, graphics,
database, and other standard software, as well as the College's own
web-based campus portal, eCampus. Specialized software such as practice
management applications, medical and pharmaceutical databases, statistical
software packages, and multimedia atlases are also available.
The resources of the Library and CCAL are available in The Eye Institute, the College's clinical facility, through terminals connected to the campus's Wide Area Network (WAN). When students complete their training, they continue to have access to Library resources throughout their professional career.
