All Hail Cyberia

What is Cyberia?

Cyberia is the English Department’s computerized classroom and lab providing students with access to technology-based composition, grammar, reading, and research tools. In other words, Cyberia is a place where technology, teaching, and learning converge, a place where innovative teaching practices are shared, a place where technology can make learning more resonant. Cyberia is a busy place, so jump to the Cyberia Google calendar to see what's happening.

Any student enrolled in an English class at CCSF may use Cyberia to do work for that English class. As an English K, L, 9, 19, 90, 91, or 92 student, you can earn up to two hours per day of lab credit towards your lab hour requirement. You must incorporate our technology and bring your valid CCSF student ID to use Cyberia. You will find much more than word processing and Internet access in Cyberia. Faculty lab monitors ("Cyber Coaches") will assist you in using technology to help you reach your writing goals, regardless of course level, and to help you become a more independent learner.

Cyberia is located on the Ocean campus in Arts Extension 265, across campus from the Writing and Reading Labs but close to many English classrooms. Cyberia's open lab hours are posted on this web page (see above) as well as on the door in Arts Extension 265. For further information about reserved class/lab time, please read the daily class / lab / workshop schedule, which is updated every semester. Please also see the Lab Page's open lab schedules for the Writing Lab and the Reading Lab.

How To Get Started in Cyberia

Your instructor is your best resource for direction. Bring your course syllabus, current assignments, and examples of your work with your teacher’s comments so the lab monitor can help direct you to the most useful programs and tools. Resist the mindset of "I just need more lab hours"; push more into finding ways to enhance the classroom-lab relationship and, thus, your learning. Use the Web Resources, Activity Form, and Activity Guide to learn more about the programs and web links for reading and writing practice to support your classwork.
