Labs and smart classrooms - Members have consulted with their colleagues regarding their requirements in computer labs and smart classrooms. Grimes felt that more smart classrooms were needed, and that the university should continue its program of adding such facilities. The Committee members agreed. Telecommunications - Members have also consulted with their colleagues regarding improved telecommunications services.
Internet bandwidth remains the primary concern.
Grimes is using teleconferencing over the Web. It works fine on campus but there are performance problems when using it from off-campus, presumably related to the Internet access problems. There are consistent reports that not only is it difficult to get information from the Web, but that people trying to access Clemson from off-campus are experiencing performance problems, also. This negatively impacts the university's image with potential students seeking information about the university over the Web. New business 1.
