The Center for Academic Computing is designing an experimental wireless Windows laptop lab with about 30 student stations that can be used in certain classrooms in the Thomas Bldg. The laptop lab will be delivered to the classroom.
Students can get computers from the cart.
There will also be a laptop for the instructor. It should be easy to use this setup in either a collaborative mode where students can move around the classroom with their computers, working together in groups, or with students work individually. This should provide another opportunity for faculty to be innovative and occassionally use their regular Thomas Bldg. A Link Control System is being installed in 64 Willard this summer. This system provides hardware linkage among all of the computers in the lab, and with the classroom ceiling-mounted projection system.
