Administrators hope the ban will alleviate issues of internet access and speed on campus, freeing up more bandwidth for academic resources.
Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind. By Morgan Smith Morgan Smith Education reporter focused on campus life at colleges and universities in the Washington area Email Bio Follow March 15 at 5:51 PM Students planning to catch up on “Game of Thrones” during class at Purdue University will have to find new ways to entertain themselves.
Students will have restricted access to streaming services over WiFi in lecture halls, classrooms and labs from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday. Residence halls and other social spaces on campus will not be affected. Students will still be able to access streaming sites anywhere on campus using cellular data.
Administrators have received positive feedback from faculty, too. Professors have the option to temporarily lift the ban in their classroom if students need to use streaming services for a classroom activity. During the pilot program, Sonstein said, “The only complaint we had was, ‘Why isn’t it in my classroom yet?’ ”
Blanchard expected more dissent from students regarding a ban when her classes participated in the pilot program last semester, she said, but she hasn’t noticed a drop in class attendance or heard negative feedback from students. Cheever said professors are sometimes frustrated with “policing” students’ technology use, but many professors and students have applauded the ban. “Students will tell me that they’re having a more pleasurable experience in class; professors notice they’re more focused and engaged,” she said.“People aren’t subtle about watching TV or playing video games.
