whitepaper Through a Dell Technology Partnership, University of North Carolina Wilmington Manages Mobile Student Computing Initiative With Minimal Resources2007-07-01 Dell
  University of North Carolina Wilmington is located on a 650-acre campus with nearly 12,000 students and approximately 2,000 faculty and staff. Initially notebook computers were sold through the campus bookstore. Ordering computers on behalf of students, receiving the shipments, and distributing and supporting the machines was labor intensive. When the bookstore stopped supplying computers, the program fell to the small IT staff. The University of North Carolina Wilmington technology team partnered with Dell to provide students with notebook computers and an on-campus warranty and service center for convenient and prompt support. Students can order online easily and have the notebooks shipped directly to them ready to use.

whitepaper Improving the Prospects for Educational Data Mining2007-04-19 University of Washington
  Data mining is an important paradigm for educational assessment. The usual assumption is that mining is performed after educational activity with that activity having been designed without regard for the mining process. This paper discusses how the prospects for successful mining can be improved by imposing constraints or biases on the activities and instruments that generate the data. These biases involve one or more of the following: encouraging, requiring or training students to communicate effectively and often during the course of learning activities, building more instrumentation into the learning environment to enable capturing more kinds of data, including evidence of student attention.
