The Wireless Campus: What Does it Mean for Your Teaching and Student Learning?
Posted on 25/01/07 17:08
I attended a Spark Session about the Wireless Campus, hosted in Kane Hall today. The session began with an introduction to the wireless networks on the UW campus. Scott Mah, Assistant Vice President from Computing & Communications, explained how wireless Internet access actually works, its reach, and its limitations. Next, Cara Lane, Research Scientist with Catalyst Research & Development, presented an overview of faculty and student attitudes and habits regarding wireless network use, drawing upon data from the 2005 UW Instructor and Student Educational Technology Surveys.
After Cara's presentation, a panel comprised of Mike Eisenberg, Taso Lagos, Ana Larson and Christopher Blair discussed the benefits and challenges of teaching and learning in a wireless classroom. The event was recorded using CSSITG's automated podcasting system and can be listened to here.
