A weekend project!
A chance to perfect your business communications skills!

Hints: We want you to show how an existing group on campus can enhance or improve their activities using wireless. Anything beyond simple email access or a static web page is fair game. The group may not be aware of what wireless can do for them. UBC IT might not be aware of the group. Your job is to bring them together. It's okay if the application can be accessed over the Net using a wired PC as long as you show that there are special benefits to being to access it using a nomadic or mobile device via wireless. |
