It is currently used by MA/MSc students and teaching staff, as well as for one-day professional courses, research events, etc. There are 60 computers with cutting-edge audiovisual translation software and computer-assisted translation tools that are fundamental for translation technology courses. There is an access code that prevents students from other departments to use these computers, since the software we use is not available elsewhere at UCL. The main drawback of teaching MA/MSc courses at the TransCluster is that, given the inner nature of translation studies, students have to be divided into small language-specific groups. Hence, the lab is not always available to teach certain seminars/tutorials/small-group sessions, such as mine. CenTraS's TransCluster is, first and foremost, a working environment, but due to an infelicitous lack of common spaces for CenTraS students/staff, it also acts as a meeting point from time to time. The TransCluster is also well known in professional translation circles, since CenTraS runs an audivisual translation summer school, online courses and one-day professional courses that are quite popular among professional translators/interpreters, and students and alumni alike.]]> 2017-02-03 13:47:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ngrindle06/9y5y07w5izew/wish/151427664 https://padlet.com/ngrindle06/9y5y07w5izew/wish/151973563 2017-02-06 20:49:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ngrindle06/9y5y07w5izew/wish/151973563 https://padlet.com/ngrindle06/9y5y07w5izew/wish/151973822 David Baker:]]> 2017-02-06 20:50:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ngrindle06/9y5y07w5izew/wish/151973822 https://padlet.com/ngrindle06/9y5y07w5izew/wish/151973938 2017-02-06 20:51:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ngrindle06/9y5y07w5izew/wish/151973938 https://padlet.com/ngrindle06/9y5y07w5izew/wish/152100202 This is one of my favourite lecture theatres; though space is limited it's a light/bright area and we can open windows too!

Long travel times, moving around in winter, a lack of green space or collegiate outdoor setting, can all impact negatively on students' learning. Yet being located in an urban centre also has its advantages, including allowing for easy movement into the urban fabric (to engage research, employers, or even studying in a coffee shop).

It was much easier to strike up discussions initiated by both me and the students.

The room does not have any white/black board, neither a doc cam. Moreover, it is too dark there. I requested to change the room, but there is nothing that room bookings could do with this. ]]> 2017-02-08 17:30:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ngrindle06/9y5y07w5izew/wish/152544196 https://padlet.com/ngrindle06/9y5y07w5izew/wish/152618585 A nice quiet seminar room. The only inconvenience is that I have to ask students to turn around if there is anything displayed on the screen.
