And what if you're utilizing LWAPP/CAPWAP as designed, and a professor
disables an AP in one classroom, but all of the APs in adjoining
classrooms increase their power to fill in the detected coverage gap?

Interesting. So if you could find a way to populate the access policy
based upon the user’s schedule of classes, you could deny them access to
the wireless network during class times. The problem is that some
professors encourage Internet access during class, so you would have to
have an opt in by a professor/class preference.
You could do it by AP, but what if that AP serves multiple classrooms?
And, what if the student connects to an AP from an adjoining building?
I know of one professor who has their TA’s patrol the classroom and
monitor what the students are doing. That may actually be cheaper, and
more effective than a technical solution.

The Aruba wireless system has everything you need to control user access
to the internet including: Per user session based firewall policy with
time of day access, NAT, Routing, bandwidth rate limiting and the
ability to kill access to rogue access points. We are quite pleased with
its features.

I’m compiling research to give to our Faculty Technology Committee.
My question is has anybody successfully implemented a solution that
restricts access to wireless internet in classrooms?
Also if you have tried and were not successful in restricting wireless
access in classrooms let me know. Why didn’t the solution work.
No opinions please about how students can just go buy a mobile broadband
card from a cellular carrier, or installing microwaves in the
classrooms, or that teaching techniques should improve.
