Drivers for Technology Changes for Education

Drivers

� 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

� 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, connectedresearchcenters)

3G Eye Shared 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

�Teachers/students cannot collaborate effectively

�schools must keep pace with tech-savvy students

�no effective solution to meet the needs of homebound students

Benefits:

� new system embraces digital age

� major reduction in telephony charges

� ‘my Teamwork’ dramatically improves home education

� VOIP network easily expands to all 114 schools

Solutions Used:

Case Study Based on Unified Communications

““We now have the ability to communicate and collaborate with each of our branch campus’ network, which was previously not possible. This adds another dimension in collaboration and sharing that will increase the breadth and depth

of interaction for both our staff and students”

3G Eye And Africa?

Alcatel-Lucent Vision

Today existing technologies:

• Allow to expand campus to remote regional centers (NREN), Voice and data convergence, interactive live-conferencing…

• And also to adapt educational content to:

o Devices enabled by wireless broadband such as Smartphones and

next-to-come mass market E-books, Tablets etc.

o reach remote or underserved areas with simple SMS media, and M-

Learning

– ex: BBC English language program in Bangladesh via mobile

phones attracted in nine months almost 3 Million calls

Alcatel-Lucent can take you there – addressing those needs with the best of what’s available today and laying the groundwork for

the evolution of those technologies tomorrow

Infrastructures Needed… IN PROGRESS
