Pedagogical Advantages of Ubiquitous Computing in a Wireless Environment - Susana M. Sotillo, the Technology Source
In the spring 2001 semester, I designed and implemented a wireless pilot project at Montclair State University (MSU). The main objective of this project was to assist a group of five graduate students in applied linguistics with the task of writing and revising their research proposals and masters theses. Wireless computing was chosen because this technology transforms every wireless room into a flexible "computer lab," with students using their laptops to work on their own or in collaboration with others (sharing drafts, charts, and tables, for example). Since wireless networks allow for ubiquitous Internet computing, students can upload and download information from library databases, log chat discussions, send and receive e-mail, and do other things from any location that, typically, they could do only from home computers or a crowded computer lab.
