 | | In 1997, Floyd College, which serves 3,000 students at its main campus and four extension centers, became the first two-year college in the country to require all students to lease laptop computers. |
 | | College administrators were convinced that by placing a notebook computer in the hands of every student, building connections to the Internet in every classroom, and training faculty to use the technology to enhance their courses, students would learn more, faster, and better. |
 | | Floyd College has three years to perfect a model for integrating information technology across the curriculum that can be replicated at other institutions. |
