Abstract

Consideration is given to how laptop use has impacted university planning. To what extent has the provision of laptops to students precluded other means of instruction? How can laptop use be regulated and standardized given the intrinsic freedom that laptops make possible? To what extent do societal pressures reduce the possibility for these young women to benefit from their laptops when away from the University Network and Intranet?
