This is where cognate students make their acquaintance with the communication theorists of hypertext and the World Wide Web... where students are met with the odd request to actually surf the web during class time. Sites are presented on the lab's projector, where they are analyzed and critiqued through the lens of the communication theory being discussed in class. Brilliant sites, functional sites, alarmingly inefficient sites ... all of these are viewed and discussed in this room, and in them are examples of learning for the communication scholar.

UAH's Administrative Science building has five computer labs boasting over 100 computers. As you progress through the MIS courses of the web curriculum, you'll have the opportunity to learn Javascript and ColdFusion as you learn how to create dynamic web sites through relational database interaction. Coupled with the classroom instruction in both the front end and back end technical aspects of a web site, the MIS computer labs are where the student learns how to manage the major elements of web development.
