Wireless Networks: Opportunities and Challenges for Foothill College

Overview Foothill College, located on 128 acres in Los Altos Hill, CA, serves approximately 19,000 individual students per year. The instructors of Foothill College have found the combination of the mobile technology and the wireless access invaluable in planning and preparing for class, having greater flexibility to meet students, being able to discuss online projects and sources in any location, and of course, an increased ability to engage in "Just-in-time" teaching. Faculty can now collaborate with students in informal settings, and both students and faculty have the freedom to accomplish their work in a mobile setting using a variety of wireless devices of their choice (i.e. laptop, PDA, tabletPC, etc.)".
