The colleges wanted wireless in the classrooms to be used as a
teaching tool. However, there was some feedback about being able to
turn off the wireless during specfic classes. With a quarter system
and a small support staff, even with Aruba, we chose not to provide
this type of configuration/service to the instructors.
It was discussed as being a behavioral issue as well.

Nicholas,
While I personally feel this is more of a behavioral issue to solve
opposed to a technical one, one option would be to install APs in
the restricted classrooms broadcasting the same ESSID as you do
outside the classroom. This would (likely) be the strongest
available signal for the students, and their device(s) would
(likely) connect to these APs. You could invoke specific firewall
policies for users on these APs to be different. For example, you
could redirect all traffic to a captive portal instructing them that
use of wireless during class is prohibited . . . or something to
that effect.
Just an idea.

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.
