New home hall of Ho Chi Minh City University of Natural Sciences, Nguyen Van Cu campus has many students but it is not as noisy as other places. Simply because this is the place where you can access wireless Internet with wifi enabled devices. Most of the students here are passionate about their laptop. They surf the web, study, exchange knowledge, listen to music, entertain . with laptops.
Hoang Phuc, a second-year student, said: ' I study information technology so I need a computer, and the school has wifi available so I asked my family to buy a laptop right from the beginning of the school year. to serve learning '. With this 'companion', Phuc's way of learning has changed a lot.
If in the past, learning and updating knowledge were quite difficult and time consuming, now things are much faster. From where Phuc and his friends got tired every time discussing 'vegetarian' about group exercises or searching for materials related to lessons, now the computer has become a bridge to help learning better. a lot of.
In particular, the Internet connection at the school not only helps students easily find useful materials and knowledge but also access the school's intranet with lessons and references. for my subject.
'Free coverage to universities'
Ms. Truong Nguyen Thu Ha - Deputy Director of FPT Mobile Service Center:
' Currently, FPT's' free coverage to universities' program has been deployed to 20 universities in Ho Chi Minh City. The above schools are provided free of charge by FPT and provide wireless Internet access equipment (after six months, they will start charging the airtime).
The universities that have been provided with wifi services are those related to information technology, have high demand for Internet use or have many users of devices that can access wifi Internet.
In addition, schools in need can contact FPT to use the 'free coverage to universities' program.
Currently, because FPT's infrastructure is only available in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, the program can only be deployed to universities in these two areas . '
As for Hoang Hai, RMIT University, having access to the Internet on campus and lecture halls has given Hai a professional . learning style. All Hai's school supplies, from books, notebooks, dictionaries, references . are just a compact laptop.
Hai said: ' Wifi allows me to quickly update the necessary information or documents related to the subject being studied quickly. Besides, I can immediately check the information from the lectures of the teachers . In general, wifi helps my learning become more interesting and interesting '.
To Ho Chi Minh City University of Technical Education, wifi is not only installed on campus but also in dormitory D (640 rooms).
Mr. Nguyen Ha, the school's network administrator, said: ' Wifi installed in the dormitory will help students access the Internet outside of school hours, moreover, you only have desktop computers. You can use Internet wifi by purchasing connection card '. Wifi has become a motivation for those who already have computers to buy wireless connection cards, but those who do not have computers must be prepared to "buy" one at a time.
Good, bad and not bad!
Wifi in universities in addition to the benefits to students in learning and entertainment, it is also the cause for the decline of the students. H., a first-year student, University of Natural Sciences, said: ' In class, if you see that lecturers are too bored, chat and play games '.
With such behavior of many students, the lesson time turned into play time, more play time now. Besides, the depraved culture in the 'virtual world' always has a great attraction for young people. If I cannot control myself, I have the opportunity to interact regularly, they will be very easily attracted. And the condition of modern learning at this time is the path that leads you far from the university lecture hall .
