Drivers for Technology Changes for Education New-age universities & Global accreditation are raising the bar Internet has changed the way students behave and how they study Online learning is gaining a firm foothold in universities around the world-Video lectures are becoming increasingly available
Drivers
Too many students and not enough schools and universities in Africa with an important shortage of professors and teachers E-book Readers, Smartphones and Tablets prices to drop in the coming years with local players joining the race. Africa is about to embark on deployment of terrestrial networks as submarine cables are now a reality Latest technologies-LTE provide possibility for live-interactivity Need for teachers and professors to access latest information for research (virtual libraires, data centres, connectedresearch centers)
Eye Shared 3G Experiences
Case Study 1: Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) Helps school to dramatically cut costs and expand digital education Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS), where more than 157,000 students attend 114 schools from kindergarten through high school, making it the state of Georgia’s largest public school system. Challenges: legacy analog system can’t support digital technology overall communications slow; poor QoS Cost concerns with aging analog system
Benefits:
Teachers/students cannot collaborate effectively
new system embraces digital age
schools must keep pace with tech-savvy students
major reduction in telephony charges
no effective solution to meet the needs of homebound students
‘my Teamwork’ dramatically improves home education
Solutions Used:
VOIP network easily expands to all 114 schools
