Could Case go from classroom bandwidth to classroom banned-width?
Faculty want to know: when students are rapidly typing on laptops during class, are they taking notes or taking bets?
This past month, Case held an open forum to discuss whether laptops and cell phones should be banned from the classroom. This topic has become an issue throughout the nation, with professors learning that students are actually playing games such as online poker, checking e-mail and chatting with friends instead of listening to class lectures and participating in classroom debates.
Where can Case draw the line and still be considered one of the most technologically advanced universities in the nation? And, where do individual rights come into play?
The editorial staff of our student-run newspaper, The Observer, had its own opinion on the subject as well. Take a look at the editorial on the subject.
