You must contact AVIT to request computer applications to be installed in the Westminster Computer Lab.


The Computer Lab runs the Linux operating system. Due to this fact, and other licensing and cost issues, it is recommended to install and run "open source computer applications".

Mind Mapping

In order to determine your software needs, it is highly recommended to create Mind Map which is used to document your computer needs. Usually larger companies go through a similar process of systems design and analysis which provided comprehensive documentation to build a computer system (eg. organizational charts, Data-Flow-Diagrams, System Flowscharts, Ghantt Charts, etc). A Mind Map allows a simple method to group computer needs to allow the AVIT department to find, install, and document the most appropriate computer application.

You can book an appointment with AVIT members to generate a mind-map, or you can create a Mind Map in the Westminster Computer Lab using the Freemind Mind Mapping application.
