West lake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do school work anywhere they want. Within five years,each of the 1,500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are a part of a $10 million computer program at West lake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to “speak”with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees-anywhere at all!
Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students.
State Officials also are testing laptop programs at other universities,too.
At West lake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use the computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one West lake teacher said, “Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we’re giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything.”
