SET-BC’s Provincial Mobile Lab
2007 - 2008
The provincial Mobile Lab provides a useful training tool for SET-BC Consultants. Consultants
can book these computers for workshops that focus on assistive technologies in the Loan Bank.
The Lab consists of 40 laptops (30 Windows / 10 Macintosh) loaded with the most commonly
used software in the Loan Bank, plus peripherals and shipping cases. Due to the high demand
for use of these computers, we have developed guidelines so this service can be accessed in an
equitable and efficient manner.
Guidelines for Use of the Mobile Lab
Requests - Requests for the Mobile Lab are made through SETdata. View SETdata Help at
https://setdata.setbc.org/help.asp?helpid=128&subject= for details on the request process.
Cycle System - Consultants / teams can plan workshops one cycle at a time and put in requests
for the mobile lab by the Provincial Review dates. All of the requests for a cycle will be
considered at one time and lab bookings will be fairly distributed across regions and consultants.
Request dates for 2007-08 are
 May 31, 2007 for the fall (September 1 to December 31, 2007)
 December 3, 2007 for the winter (January 1 to March 31, 2008)
 February 22, 2008 for the spring (April 1 to June 30, 2008)
Response to Requests – The PRT will balance requests from consultants to ensure equal
access. Priority will be given to:
 SET-BC workshops on technology currently in the Loan Bank
 SET-BC resource development projects.
 Larger workshops that can’t be presented using regional equipment.
Other Strategies
 Teams can set regional priorities for requests.
 Consultants can provide alternative dates for requests.
 The number of laptops booked should be realistic for each event (2 people per
computer).
 Additional requests throughout the cycles will be supported whenever possible.
Requesting the Mobile Lab on short notice
 Please contact Mike Sheane.
 Request must be placed 2 weeks (minimum) prior to event date.
Requesting the Mobile Lab on short term loan

arranged.
