Education

The Web has changed the way that members of educational communities interact. Colleges and universities are competing for applicants. Students are much more computer savvy. Every room on campus is wired, or wireless. Librarians must digitize content for students who want all their research information online. Professors are looking for ways to streamline assignments, grading, and curriculum.
