Smart carts, while offering location flexibility, have some serious time related problems that render them an ineffective use of resources. With just 10 minutes between classes, a faculty member literally has to run to retrieve and setup a cart prior to class. And when class is out, faculty have have to run again to take the cart down and return it to the storage area.. It is nearly impossible for two faculty members to use the cart for consecutive class hours. http://www.whitman.edu/content/wcts/ims/classrooms/resource/accessplan03/ 2003 WCTS Smart Classroom Access Plan http://media.olivet.edu/smartcr/smartconst.html#faculty http://lis.dickinson.edu/Teaching/SmartClassrooms/index.html
