With my recent posts about the articles about laptops in the classroom, this Wired Campus Blog entry seems appropriate. It points you towards a list of Universities that require laptops and provides some basic info on their programs.
The first comment posted on the blog raises the same concerns that I feel. Requiring students to bring laptops opens you up to a world of pain in IT. But with IT providing and managing the laptops you can control many of the (in)compatibility variables that can negatively impact the classroom experience with laptops, and hence the learning.
