All,
We just left our old benchmarking software and signed up with NWEA Map
testing. I'm looking for any lessons learned in deployment, both from a tech
side and from an actual classroom side.
One of my biggest concerns is the use of wireless laptops. At two of our
schools, we only have wireless laptop "mobile carts" to test on. These
carts are 30 laptops with a negear wg302 (dual attena) access point.
According to a pdf I found on nwea's website, they recommend 15 clients per
access point.
#1: Should I split all my wireless labs to use two seperate access points
for more bandwidth?
#2: Does everyone install the software on each machine or run it off a
share? I have a couple hundred machines I'd have to visit / reimage if
people have horrible experiences with running the application off a central
server/share.
#3: We have mulitple buildings and I plan on installing the map server
software at each building. Anything that I should be aware of in terms of
sending data to NWEA because of this deployment model?
#4: Anything else I should know about deploying a successful nwea map cycle?
Thanks again,
Aaron
