whitepaper Designing Flexible Learning Spaces: Northumbria University0000-00-00 Higher Education Funding Council for England
  The City Campus Library, opened in 1978, had received little investment in buildings or infrastructure, and the facilities available were increasingly unable to sustain the demands of a learner-focused library service. The university IT and Infrastructure programme identified the need to make the existing building fit for purpose by upgrading the power supply, ventilation, lift access and lighting to each of the 500 sq m floors. The library at City Campus has now gained overall 130 open access workspaces which allow integrated access to print and online resources alongside desktop software and courseware. Flexibility and choice for students has also been extended by providing 30 wireless laptops on a loan system for use anywhere within the City Campus building.

whitepaper Apple Computer Case Study: South Gate Middle School0000-00-00 Apple Computer
  One of the largest secondary schools in the country, South Gate is located in a crowded urban area and serves some 4400 students. In an environment where computer access was limited in the past, iBook Wireless Mobile Labs are now giving South Gate's students daily exposure to technology, and engaging them with computer-based learning. Before South Gate's teachers can use the iBook Wireless Mobile Labs in the classrooms, they go through intensive training. Apple Professional Development (APD) has been a significant part of that process, providing instruction on laptop usage and care, and working with teachers to develop lessons that incorporate digital content into the curriculum.

whitepaper Apple Computer Case Study: Waukegan School District0000-00-00 Apple Computer
  Like many areas in the country, Waukegan is feeling the pressures of a sluggish economy. Nearly a decade ago, residents of the city approved a cap on taxes, severely restricting the funds available annually to their schools. Since then, all schools in the area have felt the pinch of meager operating budgets and inflation. When it came time to replace outdated hardware in the district's 23 school sites, school administrators were hard-pressed to cover the costs. The solution was a new, flexible leasing plan for their desktop and laptop computers, made possible by Apple Financial Services (AFS) Education Finance.
