What Can You Do at the DLL?
All Princeton University students, faculty, and staff are welcome. Our computers are optimized for multimedia work, ranging from graphic design, video editing, audio production, and crunching data. We even have an acoustically treated recording space!
Not only is the DLL a laboratory for multimedia creation, it’s also a classroom where faculty prepare their students to complete innovative digital assignments. Our professional staff can also help you design digital assignments and teach your students the skills they need to complete them.
The Digital Learning Lab is staffed around the clock by experts who can answer questions, give feedback, and troubleshoot with you. In addition, the Digital Learning Lab hosts workshops where you can learn new skills.
Our facilities are built with teamwork in mind. The room features tons of whiteboard space, a networked storage drive, and a multi-screen projection system that can simultaneously display work from lab computers and personal devices.

Five triangular table clusters organize the room for active pedagogy, group projects, and peer-to-peer instruction while prioritizing traffic flow and accessibility in the space. Two wall-length whiteboards and movable whiteboard walls offer a canvas for epic brainstorming sessions.
Wireless Screen Sharing
A 10-foot by 30-foot 4K screen provides ample room for students and faculty to share their smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop screen wirelessly with the video wall. A collaborative space this size, unique on Princeton’s campus, opens up an inspiring range of possibilities for teaching and learning with technology.
