Mark Cain Jim Krailler Chris Buelterman

About the College  Private liberal arts  Sponsored by Sisters of Charity  Emphasizes values, integrity, social responsibility  1700 FTE students (74% commuter)  43 academic programs

Challenges  Scheduling problems in computer labs  Insufficient number of computers for student general use  No remote access to lab software  Assuring computer literacy without a computer literacy requirement  Inadequate infrastructure for a “media-rich” learning environment

Solution Universal Computing Program

How does MERLIN work?

Notebook PC How does MERLIN work? Basic productivity software (Office, IE, plug-ins) resides on low-cost PC. Off-campus access with modem.

Wireless Network Notebook PC How does MERLIN work? Wireless connectivity allows campus roaming while still maintaining access to network, Internet and network software.

leaky co-ax antenna

high-gain omni-directional antenna

Citrix Server Wireless Network Notebook PC How does MERLIN work? Lab (high-end) software runs off CITRIX server for LAN and off-campus access.CITRIX

Other Goodies

Before MERLIN, I was a 98 pound IT weakling. Look at me now!

Infrastructure Considerations  Coverage  Access points  Antennae  Security  Wireless network  Citrix  Citrix gotchas

Ongoing Challenges  Classroom issues  Technology refresh  Bandwidth  Faculty  Students

Lessons Learned  Communicate, communicate, communicate  Choose your vendors carefully  Faculty first?  You can never test enough  Pilot  Stay flexible, move fast
