Learning anywhere, anytime
Since
requiring all students to have laptop computers in Fall
2000 at Johnson C. Smith University, the number of courses
incorporating laptops is growing rapidly. Consequently,
JCSU students are using their laptops as portable
libraries, laboratories, and communication ports,
enhancing their education and extending their educational
reach well beyond the classroom walls.
Our
campus offers a quality mobile learning environment, with
more than 3000 Internet connections located in the
library, the commons rooms, and every residence hall room.
Many building on campus have "technology" classrooms,
allowing students to tap into the vast resources on the
World Wide Web. Off-campus or in the residence halls, the
learning environment is enriched by the ability to connect
with professors, classmates, and, via the Internet, the
world.
