Info

Participant N Participant N was a Certificate in Nursing student. She was new at Unitec, doing her 1 st year. She came to the library every day in the afternoon and got on WLANs for at least one hour. E-learning was quite important for her, she said. If she had spare time, she also surfed the Internet for a while. Participant BC Participant BC was a Bachelor of Computing student. He was doing his 2 nd year of the course. BC studied very hard. He spent all his time in school and used WLANs for over 7 hours a day. Although his classes were all in Mt. Albert Campus, Waitakere Campus was much closer to his home. So if he wanted to study at school, he would come to Waitakere Campus on the day he did not have any classes. Usually, BC studied in the library. But he also studied in the cafeteria area. He said he liked to sit in different environments. Participant B Participant B was a Master of Business student. He had been off school for one semester but he always came to school and spent more than six hours on campus. He said he was trying to find a full time job and that was why he did not take any class for this semester but he would go back to class next semester. He really enjoyed staying at school with friends so he came to school every day. B was only comfortable in the graduate centre so the interview took place in the graduate centre. B was easygoing, and some students came to say hello to him during the interview. He said he made a lot of friends there. He did research, surfed Internet and chatted with friends over the Internet when he was in the graduate centre. Participant P Participant P was a Certificate of Proficiency student and he was in his 4 th year of the course. P came to campus every day at 9 o’clock in the morning either to the library or building 76. P usually did some research, discussions 63
and downloads related to his assignments. He said he liked to use his own laptop so he needed WLANs to help him. As he spent a long time at school, he also liked to surf news and chat with friends while he was on the Internet via WLANs. � The general experiences of the use of Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) on campus This section aims to examine the interviewees’ experiences of the use of WLANs. Table 4-3 shows the prime experiences and Table 4-4 shows whether participants gave more detailed information. N/A means that participant did not give an answer. The table below (Table 4-3) shows how these participants knew that there were WLANs provided on the campus, what types of Internet connection they were currently using, were there any terms and conditions on WLANs that they knew about, did they know whether there were any restrictions on using WLANs on campus, did they know the speed of WLANs and finally their satisfaction with the WLANs. 64
