Education Today!
23 June 2010
Students and lecturers are the heaviest users of digital technology for instructional purposes. For example, nearly all lecturers have laptop computers or have a desktop PC in their classroom.
Staff and students also have remote access to the system’s main server through a secure portal to monitor college e-mail, test results, homework as well as protected financial, academic and administrative information for lecturers and administrators.
A major frustration today is old legacy analogue telephony systems. “As digital-based education exploded in the late 1990s, the old technology simply doesn’t have the capacity and bandwidth to keep up with demand. Legacy wide area networks (WAN) for data were capacity-based instead of connectivity-based, and could not efficiently tag data packets end-to-end. This is a limitation that at times compromises service quality. Emerging communications technologies such as video, voice-over-IP (VoIP) telephony, centralized server management and storage are difficult or impossible to reliably implement on old legacy networks.
Freedoms approach to resolving this type of problem uses innovative solutions, our solution design consultants have a myriad of expertise in Education needs, enabling schools, colleges and universities to operate more efficiently, attract students and meet the needs of today’s digital based education.
