International Journal of Advanced Computer Research (ISSN (print): 2249-7277 ISSN (online): 2277-7970) Volume-4 Number-1 Issue-14 March-2014 251 Utilization of Secure Wireless Networks as Environment for Learning and Teaching in Higher Education Mohammed A.M. Ibrahim Abstract This paper investigate the utilization of wire and wireless networks to be platform for distributed educational monitoring system. Universities in developing countries suffer from a lot of shortages(staff, equipments and finical budget) and optimal utilization of the wire and wireless network, so universities can mitigate some of the mentioned problems and avoid the problems that maybe humble the education processes in many universities by using our implementation of the examinations system as a test-bed to utilize the network as a solution to the shortages for academic staff in Taiz University. This paper selects a two areas first one quizzes activities is only a test bed application for wireless network learning environment system to be distributed among students. Second area is the features and the security of wireless, our tested application implemented in a promising area which is the use of WLAN in higher education for leering environment.

Introduction Rapid advances in information technology and telecommunications, wireless network and mobile communications offer a large environment for exchange data and information without limited connectivity. Technology is curricula tool for increasing the use of applications in different areas the consideration of this paper is fully utilize the wireless network for educational applications. A huge number of researches in wirelesses networks studied many applications base in wireless network as new learning environments [1]. In addition the Manuscript received March 06, 2014. Mohammed A.M. Ibrahim, Department of Information Technology, Taiz University/ Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology, Taiz ,Yemen. rapidly developments in the wireless networks field courage the researchers not only applied huge number of educational applications but also commercial applications based on this technology, various network learning environments that attract many individuals‟ attention and expectations can be find in [2]. Also, huge number of researchers has predicted that wireless learning environments have the potential to create the new platform which will significantly impact education [3]. Wireless learning environments offer many educational possibilities that are not easily achieved in normal learning environments. The actual problems in a normal learning environment in many universities especially those in developing countries are the shortage in academic staff, equipments, classes space, budgets and Taiz University is suffer from all of the mentioned problems at once, in addition to the lack of real-time feedback which should come from students also, number of students especially the female students are too shy to participate actively on learning by commenting the presentation, proposing their ideas or asking questions. In [4] presented an exploratory review of several categories of wireless technologies, their successful applications in higher education institutions and challenges from the educator‟s perspective such as mobile learning. A hot topic among researcher from early days and is still ongoing in many projects are the exploration of the extension of e-learning into wireless/handheld (W/H) computing devices with the help of a mobile learning framework. Also, a similar work to the work in this paper can be find in [5] the researchers replaced the traditional quizzes with an automated approach. Another application called "Student Response System (SRS)", a server-side web application, which requires only a web browser on client side. Quizzes can be answered with handheld computers via wireless networks. The results can be seen as charts and can be projected to students. Work in [6] is very similar to our work; students can send questions during the lecture, and also the teacher can receive the question and retain the answer, teacher can also do tests online and system return the test or quiz's marks to student, we presented in this paper the quizzes activities as an
