LATINA is a change-oriented digital training programme at Oslo and Akershus University College.
LATINA stands for Learning and teaching in a digital world.
Our goal is to provide teachers, students and professional people with the technical, social and conceptual tools they need to operate successfully in a web-based world.
LATINA/lab
We conduct most of our training in the LATINA Lab, which is a dedicated seminar room equipped with a digital whiteboard (Smartboard) and portable computers for all participants. We also have low-cost facilities for video conferencing and on-line teaching (synchronous and asynchronous).
In organizational terms LATINA is a separate section within the Library and Learning Centre of the college. Professor Helge Høivik is the LATINA director. Lars Egeland, who heads the Centre, is his deputy. Associate professor Tord Høivik is associated with the Lab as an instructor and senior consultant. Senior technician Aslak Ormestad teaches photography (still and video) and manages much of our digital equipment.
