This is a good point. We've also talked about some ability to provide "distance learning" to students who are sick .. or (as I look outside at the 6" of new snow) when we have closures due to weather. I guess I'm on the free-market side of this -- in the end, it's up to the students. After all, isn't every school calling them *cough, cough* "customers" now?

Philippe, Is there any method of giving grace to a student who is sick and staying in the dorm? "If you're too sick to go to class, you're too sick to use the WiFi"? Just wondering if you have a way of handling that. Regards, Trevor Trevor A.

All, University of Tennessee has had some class attendance issues lately, especially with Sophomores. We came up with a location based wireless solution that could fix this issue. We have built a database of rooms surrounding Access-Points that we correlate with a class roster. Basically if a student is supposed to be in room x at time y, our filtering only allows the student access to a set of access points surrounding that room during that time. No wireless elsewhere. Dormitories are included in the algorithm. If you are doing something similar, we would like to know some of the caveats. Thanks, Philippe Hanset University of TN (Constituent Group Leader of Wireless-LAN@educause) (what's the date?) ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
