Minicase 1. Darmouth College Goes Wireless.
1) In what ways is the Wi-Fi technology changing the life of Dartmouth students? Wi-Fi technology implementing has improved the life of Dartmouth students, by developing foundation for more convenient and effective study and communication. This innovation has resulted on two main directions:
1. student-professor communications
Due to distribution wireless technology professors started to use new teaching methods (supporting examples from Internet, online tests, immediately announcing results), promoting discussions. The system allows students to ask the professors’ questions without waste of time on waiting for his/her turn.
2. communications among students
On-line communication became more extensive (especially via SMS). So implementing Wi-Fi technology helped students to save time and boost efficiency by changing way of obtaining, processing and delivering information.
Ander the influence of wireless system Dartmouth society becomes more digital.
2) Some say that the wireless system will become part of the background of everybody's life-that the mobile devices are just an afterthought. Explain.
Implementing wireless system is logical result (necessity) of hard competitive environment. To be successful now means to be mobile, every time and everywhere have an access to necessary information and ability to communicate with others (partners, co-workers, professors, friends, etc.). So, wireless innovation system meets these contemporary challenges and helps it’s users to save money and time.
3) Is the system contributing to improved learning or just adding entertainment that may reduce the time available for studying?
I think this system contributes both in learning process and entertainment. Just look at citations: “Students can submit their classwork by using the networks, as well as by watching streaming video and listening to Internet radio.” “Professors are using wireless teaching methods. Students can evaluate
