Cisco announces Blueprint for Digital Education
In line with its commitment to help colleges and universities improve how students connect, engage, learn, and succeed, Cisco has announced a Blueprint for Digital Education at the Cisco Digital Education Summit at The Indian School of Business (ISB), Hyderabad.
Sudhir Nayar, Managing Director, Commercial Sales, Cisco India and SAARC, said, “Students today are hyperconnected technology users. They have high expectations that are constantly changing. As the world of education continues to change, educators must adapt to evolving expectations and benchmarks. By offering educators and students more ways to connect, engage, manage, and succeed, the Cisco Blueprint for Digital Education aims to help colleges and universities create a completely integrated digital environment that meets the high expectations of today’s students."
The Blueprint for Digital Education is based on Cisco’s highly secure core network and unified voice, video, and wireless communications, which are protected by state-of-the-art security solutions and lay the framework for connected campuses, empowered educators, informed administrators, and students who have the tools they need for success in a new digital world. The Blueprint will allow colleges and universities to:
· Enable students to learn anywhere: With Cisco Connected Classroom solutions, which use the Cisco Digital Network Architecture (Cisco DNA) and collaboration solutions such as WebEx online meetings and Cisco Spark all-in-one communications, students can learn how they learn best: anywhere, anytime, and on any device. Whether on or off campus or in a flipped classroom model, students and educators have highly secure access to educational resources, using their smartphones, tablets, and other connected devices.
· Build an intelligent campus: By utilizing pervasive Wi-Fi access, sensors, and analytics, digital campus solutions enable higher levels of operational efficiency to campus administration and management. Cisco Connected Campus provides extensive network analytics that can help administrators make data-driven decisions while managing facilities, lighting, parking, and transportation.
· Increase student and staff productivity: With smart workspaces that automatically track student attendance and progress, schools and universities can operate efficiently in a rapidly changing environment.
· Foster global connections: Digital learning classrooms can support new online learning experiences, worldwide collaboration, and rich online media consumption with virtual classrooms.
· Support innovation, acceleration, and research: Cisco Connected Research solutions give researchers, faculty, and students the tools they need to connect and collaborate transparently on campus and around the world.
· Create a safe and secure learning environment: Today's schools and universities can be the targets of both physical threats and cyberattacks. Cisco cybersecurity and physical security solutions help keep students, staff, and data safe and secure, whether on campus, off campus, or inside school vehicles.
