Technology changes made over the past three years:
Fuqua has deployed a high-performance network (FuquaNet) which now includes wireless access. The school has developed an integrated web space which reflects its unique brand and which provides intranets for faculty, staff, and students (FuquaWorld) as well as alumni (AlumniLink). Fuqua’s global infrastructure includes a high-speed cross-continent link connecting its facilities in Europe and North America. To enhance study time and communications on the Durham campus, the Student Computing Space contains areas where students can quickly access e-mail, browse the web, or access computing resources while studying or completing a paper. This high-tech computing landscape allows students to be more productive with their time when not in class and contains 160 high-performance WorkStations and ExpressStations and 90 network-equipped study areas. By integrating Internet-based communications into its instructional programs, Fuqua has created the Computer Mediated Learning Environment (CMLE). The Fuqua CMLE consists of intranet-based, client-server applications that are universally accessible by all Fuqua students. The CMLE is available for use by students from home or from anywhere around the world to combine the best of the physical and virtual classroom. A recent addition to the Fuqua technology landscape is an information kiosk environment called FuquaChannel which distributes a variety of external programs (including CNBC and CNN) as well as streaming video of Fuqua's Monday Morning Messages and information about its Executive Conference Center, student clubs, and daily events. Fuqua's Teaching Space has been enhanced to include video production facilities and a classroom studio. Video servers distribute high-resolution multimedia across FuquaNet and into globally-dispersed student environments. Fuqua's Global Conference System uses telepresence technologies to enable real-time conferencing between its North American and European facilities.
