Described below are "some ses of existing and requested lab equipment", "wanted/needed equipment and software", and "some experiments" possible with existing and additional equipment.
One purpose of the WebLearningTools Research lab is to create a "test classroom" of appropriate and typical educational computer equipment, software and sample or test courseware. This hardware and software are to be suitable for testing lab-developed software and courseware and course content delivery systems in a number of small to medium-scale deployment and course content deliver configurations. A second purpose of the lab is to test and refine networking performance metrics (1) intra-lab: in-house (in the lab) between the networked computers in the lab and (2) inter-lab metrics between the WLT lab and one or more T1 (or faster) computer labs on the nearby San Francisco State University campus. A third purpose, of course, is to test -- or develop tests for testing -- educational efficiency and effectiveness of certain courseware and supporting client or server software and develop and refine metrics related to those tests in conformance with and extending those metrics in the existing "research literature".
