Participant B had some classes that require Internet research during the
lectures. B thought it was great to look up topics or content in class when the
professor asked them to. Just like other interviewees, B liked to use his own

WLANs.
Participant S
Participant S did not have any difficulty in connecting to the WLANs on
campus. S said “It is good. They build it good enough and make it very simple
to connect. There should not be any trouble at all. The steps are very easy.”
Participant E
On weekdays, participant E usually spent approximately six hours at the
graduate centre on her laptop with the WLANs connection. Most weekends,
