Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Restricting of wireless access in classrooms

[Justin Hao]

an alternative solution may be to throttle/filter internet access during class periods via packetshaping so that standard browsing would work, but streaming/other applications would not, if you blocked facebook/myspace/youtube/etc. it would remove the majority of distractions for students in classrooms.. -- Justin Hao Network Engineer Texas A&M University Networking and Information Security j...@tamu.edu (979)862-2162 Urrea, Nick wrote: 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.       ---- Nicholas Urrea Information Technology UC Hastings College of the Law urr...@uchastings.edu x4718   ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. -- Justin Hao Network Engineer Texas A&M University Networking and Information Security j...@tamu.edu (979)862-2162 ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
