Ubiquitous Computing refers to programs aimed at making a computer available to every member of a learning community so that everyone in that community is able to communicate and access learning materials “any time, any place.” One of the most visible aspects of Seton Hall's technology plan is the University's Mobile Computing Program, Seton Hall's version of ubiquitous computing.
Participation guidelines have been established which outline who is eligible to participate in the Mobile Computing Program.
All full-time undergraduate students and graduate students in specific graduate programs are required to participate in the Mobile Computing Program. All full-time and adjunct faculty as well as some administrator who's are of responsibility impacts teaching and learning are also issued laptops through the Mobile Computing Program. Program polices and procedures have been developed which govern participation and are broken down by your role at the University.
One of the primary focuses of the Mobile Computing Program is to find and implement the technology that meets the hardware requirements and supports the academic goals of the University. After extensive research and undergoing an external bid process, the Department of Information Technology procures and distributes the new model laptop for the current academic year.
