The Future of PC-classroom
- a Reality Check

Reality?

PC-classrooms and their usage
TopLess-statistics
Stats page: http://bit.ly/1J0bESf

Why to change?
 Changes in teaching methods
 The reality vs reservations
 Money?
 Need for more flexibility
 BYOD

Risks?
 No device at all
 Broken or stolen
 Computer is not functioning right
 No right programs available
 Is way of teaching is really changing? Are the
teachers changing their ways?

IS
BYOD
REALLY
REALITY?
ANYONE RELYING ON BYOD?

Is 100% usage even possible?
 Size of teaching groups is ”never” optimal for
resources
 Scheduling challenges
 Peak usage is Tuesday to Thursday from 10
o’clock to 14 o’clock
 Need to have space to make homework

From static frontal to more flexibel environment
 We need
 Still some static PC’s
 Good Wi-Fi coverage and capacity
 Students to bring their own laptops
 On air presenting for portable devices
 Local or remote software for ”all” devices

Collaborative teamwork in practice

Before
Now

Summary
 I predict that the amount of the devices is not
going to drop dramatically in any HEI, as we
need them for our staff and teachers to work, the
need in laboratories and design classrooms.
 BYOD provides lots of add-on value for teaching,
but it won’t be the only solution for teaching
 PC’s are not going to disappear from our system
for a long time.

QUESTIONS???
OPINIONS??

Laptop lending, with zero-effort?

1st, the need for the flexible PC-classroom
 To have the service
 As good quality as possible
 When needed
 Where needed
 With the right software needed

2nd new campus in 2018/2019
 Myllypuron campus
 6000 students
 6 PC-classrooms (30-40 PC’s per room)
 Fully coverage for Wi-Fi
