CALL Training Program
The Language Labs offer a program of C.A.L.L. (Computer Assisted Language Learning) training and professional development for instructors and tutors in the languages we serve. Check this page periodically for announcements on upcoming training sessions.
Sessions are listed for enrollment through The Learning Network, the college system's means of listing and registering for all sorts of training. Registration through The Learning Network is mandatory for all FALL and SPRING training and orientation settings. All language faculty are strongly encouraged to attend one lab intro and one Sony training per year. Attendees who do not register in The Learning Network will not receive handouts & other distributed materials. All attendees must take the initiative to sign in upon arrival for attendance to be marked & recorded appropriately. We cannot take your word that you attended a given session, as sign-in sheets in conjunction with the attendance marking feature in The Learning Network are our only way of keeping track of those in attendance at the many training opportunities we provide you. The language lab intro session and the Sony session are strongly recommended. All sessions are announced well in advance, so please plan your personal and extra-professional commitments accordingly. Instructors wanting to use the labs should plan to attend both a lab intro session and a Sony session at least once a year. Attendance at most language lab training sessions usually results in our providing you extra "VIP" services!
Attendees in need of a sign language interpreter are asked to make appropriate and timely arrangements with Deaf Student Services at cfinterpret@lonestar.edu / 281.290.3206 TDD / 832.482.1014 Office phone.
