iLab

iLab is Macquarie University's new approach to computer laboratories, enabling students to use Windows and Macintosh applications for their university work from anywhere on most kinds of personal computers, tablets and smartphones.

One of the best things about it is that if you have a Windows computer, you can still use mac.iLab and if you have a Mac you can still use win.iLab - unique in the Australian higher education landscape.

iLab 1.0 is just the beginning, offering the same set of applications with a few additions. For example SPSS, a statistical program many students need to use, is now available on both Windows and Macintosh. Adobe Creative Suite for Macintosh is available for the first time. Naturally, Microsoft Office is also available on both platforms. Future iLab releases will deliver a much larger range of applications that students need for their studies.
