To support a positive and professional learning environment, students are expected to refrain from activities not related to the classroom learning. When using the laptop, students are to exercise courtesy and respect and to limit the use of laptops to activities that support their academic studies. Students are discouraged from surfing the net and accessing online material such as games when not related to classroom learning and using earphones, except for auditory learning experiences.
Students are expected to have valid licenses for personal use of software in Durham College classrooms in accordance with Mobile Computing Policies # 1 and 6.
Faculty has the right to ask students to refrain from the use of laptops when activities are not conducive to classroom learning. Students may be asked to leave the classroom if they do not comply with these policies. In the case where faculty may use a non-laptop teaching method, students are expected to comply with the faculty's request not to use the laptop.
During evaluations, students are not to communicate with others using the laptop, the college network, or the internet without the expressed permission of the faculty. No unauthorized material is to be brought into the evaluation. Failure to comply is considered academic dishonesty. Please see your subject outline for further restrictions or discuss any questions you might have with your professor.
