Various internet-based activities can also be integrated into the lectures.
In addition to the Language Labs, there is a seminar room and 5 tandem rooms in the Language Resource Center, on level +2 of the LC. The tandem rooms can be booked by students.

The PC training rooms are to be booked for lectures requiring student PC workstations. 2 PC training rooms are available as practice rooms for students. This allows students to use additional software used and taught in courses for learning. The PC training and exercise rooms are located in the following buildings.
In addition to the PC labs maintained by IT Services, there are the Department of Information Processing & Process Management workstation rooms and the Department of Socioeconomics GIS Lab (special instruction rooms).
Plug & Study
The PC Labs in the Teaching- and Library Center (TC) are gradually being converted into Plug & Study labs. This will involve removing the desktop computers, but not the monitors. Students can therefore use their own devices in the P&S rooms together with the existing large monitors. They will continue to have access to special software such as SPSS via virtual PCs.
The lecturer PCs remain in place for the time being. As a lecturer, you can use them as usual.
Location plan of the current P&S rooms:
P&S rooms from the SoSe 2025:
LC.2.064 PC Raum
Software requirements
If you require special software for your course in the booked labs, please report this requirement to pcraum@wu.ac.at by the end of the semester (of the current semester), as the workstations are usually prepared for the following semester during the vacation period. If this request is not made in time, it cannot be guaranteed that the software can be installed in time due to the high room utilization.
