It appears 2024 has just begun, but we are already halfway through the year. Significant infrastructure changes have been implemented to ensure the college remains a premier institution that produces excellent student outcomes. Despite being located on a heritage campus, the College continues to renovate and invest in relevant infrastructure to meet current generations’ teaching and learning needs. This process is ongoing as I write this piece.
Following the successful launch of CoL2abz, our immersive technology learning hub equipped with Alienware computers, drone technology and a green-screen studio at the Crosby Building, we have continued to push the boundaries of innovation. The SMART IMAGO presentation application, now implemented in several classrooms and labs, allows educators to focus on teaching, streamline the learning experience, keep a pulse on classroom dynamics, and elevate the traditional classroom experience to innovative future pedagogies.
Our psychology centre is equipped with psychometric testing, eye-tracking, and the latest electroencephalogram (EEG) technology to measure the brain’s electrical activity, showcasing our commitment to staying at the forefront of educational technology. Further, the recently opened multimedia studio, equipped for broadcasting and video/audio recording, serves as a channel for the voice of DISTED, enabling us to podcast discussions and video production.
The science labs are scheduled for a major renovation in June to support the pre-university science programmes. Stay tune, we will share the photos.
In addition, the DISH Café has been transformed to provide food variety for our campus community, now offering sumptuous pastries and Western dishes. SPACE Residences, DISTED’s hostel, continues to undergo renovations to provide a more comfortable living environment for our outstation and international students.
In short, DISTED College has revitalised the campus and continues to invest to benefit students and staff as we celebrate our 37th anniversary in July.
