Hello
We have recently gone through a similar process of banning these. Our main concern was the inability to hear warnings and alarms. In the past the  communal radio approach caused problems with hearing incoming telepho ne calls from clients.

We have recently agreed on a policy (not imp lemented yet!) to ban these devices in labs. As a trade off we will provide docking stations, but will be up to the labs to reach a consensus on what to play.

I=EF=BF=BDm sure our next issue will be the volume and content.

However I have had a number of experiences o f being a metre behind a student and yelling at them while they bob their h eads in oblivion. I can remedy this with a tap on the shoulder, but what if the alarms went off? Or someone yells for help.

Cheers, Paul

All

How do folks handle this?  Do you have policy /language regarding the use of ear bud-type radios (ipods,=EF=BF=BDetc.) while in a lab?

Thanks
