After attending the pICT Faculty Fellowship [22-25 May 2006], Stewart is starting to characterize some of the aspects of success.

Positive: Using AH1112 (Experimental Classroom - notebooks + wireless) provided a development resource for students to use during class time.
Positive: Seating in AH112 at worktables, that naturally seated 5 students fostered group discussions and collaborations.
Positive: Torque Game Engine was a robust software environment (though complicated due to vast number of editors and capabilities in the object-oriented Torque script programming)
Negative: Computer Labs GMCS 422 could not be used during class, due to their lack of login via the network.
