1. Overview of ClassNet

Starting from September 1998, ITSC has been working with several departments to provide more Internet access points on Campus. These network outlets can be found in lecture theatres, classrooms, libraries and public areas. ClassNet employs Virtual Private Network (VPN) technology which uses encryption and some security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network.

In some of the lecture theatres and classrooms, you can also login the built-in computers in those equipped sites. Together with audio-visual equipment and multimedia applications, teaching and learning can be enhanced. At present, over 100 lecture theatres and classrooms have direct connections with the Campus Network and the Internet via the ClassNet.
