Many of the classrooms and all the computer labs are equipped
with mounted multimedia projectors. This has become essential
as we have moved towards using PowerPoint presentation as
one of the primary means of lesson delivery for proprietary
courses. Portable multimedia projectors are also available
for lecturers to loan out if the classroom has no mounted
projector. There are also laptops available for lecturers
to loan out for teaching.
In addition to the classrooms, the hospitality courses utilize
mock-ups of a hotel room and a bar/restaurant offering students
the opportunity to practice in realistic situations. The psychology
counselling school also gives students an opportunity for
real hands on practice with a room set aside for counselling
purposes. When the room is not being used for counselling,
it is utilized by students for practice. It is attached to
another room by webcam so other students can observe the mock
counselling session.
Hawthorn maintains an Independent Learning Centre where students
are encouraged to practice their English independently or
with the help of the lecturer in attendance. In addition,
it is in the early stage of implementation of English language
learning software for use in classes and independent study.
