Trend: Computing resources in flux
Students will have laptops and/or tablets
Students may or may not be physically on campus to use labs
Students want and expect to work from anywhere
Computer labs shrinking or disappearing, or reserved for physical experiments
Servers and clouds (private and public) at various stages of implementation and use
Learning “in place” is redefined
Distance learning Equidistance learning?
