Using local area networks to improve learning efficiency

Connectivity is rapidly becoming an ever more important word to the business community. The last decade has seen tremendous growth in the use and development of local area network (LAN) technology. Along with this growth, it has become easier to install LANs, making this technology available to anyone willing to explore it. The education community is also realizing the power of connectivity through LANs and is beginning to find new and useful ways to employ them. This paper chronicles how the United States Military Academy employs local area networks to improve learning efficiency.
