He and his colleagues promptly laid plans for a wireless network pilot program at Wake Forest. So for the pilot program we decided to provide coverage in dining halls, libraries, quads, and student unions. Based on the positive results of the two-month pilot program, Wake Forest chose to expand its wireless initiative. The wireless package includes wireless LAN interface cards for the laptops. With the wireless services, student subscribers research their assignments online, download coursework, check e-mail and access the campus network unencumbered by cables, connectors or library hours.
Wireless technology allows studying to take place outside of traditional learning areas.
Now a bench in the quad or a table in the dining hall can be a learning environment. Ryan Scholl, a computer science major, agrees. He worked for the physics department chair one semester, filming classroom demonstrations for Physics 110. It was so efficient. Students are enthusiastic.
