Access to computer technology in the classroom can encourage active rather than passive learning. When students in each classroom have access to their own laptop computer, faculty can undertake curriculum initiatives that allow students hands-on applications of delivered concepts. This fosters teamwork, group projects and the ability to communicate and coordinate schedules.
Laptop computers are complex devices.
Standardization permits a higher level of technical support and device exchange, greater use of standard collaborative tools and enhanced software and data interoperability. These types of services and support quality simply cannot be provided across a range of differing computers. With standardized laptop computers and software, students and faculty can focus on course work rather than the technical details of file and software exchange. Support services provided by ASU MBA technical staff is an added convenience. The ASU MBA Program technical support team will help ensure that notebooks purchased from the approved vendor function correctly.
