Changing the Ground of Graduate Education: Wireless Laptops Bring Stability rather than Mobility to Graduate Teaching Assistants
This book chapter is for a project called Going Wireless: A Critical Exploration of Wireless and Mobile Technologies for Composition Teachers and Scholars. Editor: Amy Kimme Hea, University of Arizona. My chapter describes the process by which the NDSU English department sought and received funding for 20 wireless laptop computers, three access points, and additional infrastructure support in order to create a rich, robust, and stable computing environment for our Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs). I draw on GTAs' responses to four mid-semester (Fall 2004) questions and their responses to a 30 question survey (Word file). This research has been approved by the NDSU Institutional Review Board--the informed consent form is also available as a Word file. The NDSU English Department's Laptop Initiative was generously funded by the Technology Fee Advisory Committee, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dr. R. Craig Schnell, and the Dean of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences, Dr. Thomas Riley.
