Should lecturers be able to turn wifi off?

Return to VicTeach 2014

Theme: Teaching to a Wall of laptops When: Friday, August 15th, 3:10 - 4:30ish Where: AM101, Kelburn campus What: A fun debate on the topic “This house believes that lecturers should have the ability to switch wifi off in teaching spaces.” Comments and feedback from the floor welcome, and encouraged - please bring your outrage (either way) and opinions. This will be followed by a more thoughtful discussion on the more general topic of the opportunities, frustrations, and impacts of increased internet, laptops, and wifi in teaching spaces.
