New Technology Now Lets Over 100,000 Students Remotely Access Their School
Author: Dana HHaving graduated university in 2002 I can still remember the worthy old days when I used to sign up for classes over the phone. I had to pick up a course catalogue wait for my registration time and then punch in all of the numbers for the classes I wanted. Those days are no more thanks to LinkProof a piece of network hardware that allows students to remote access their schools. LinkProof is made by Radware a company specializing in network front end application hardware.
Why do students need remote access?
Students can now sign up for classes from where ever they can get an internet signal. They do it form home, a coffee shop with WiFi, even from a different country if they are spending a semester abroad. LinkProof also act as a security shield for school applications protecting the school's programs and hardware from viruses, Trojans, and denial of service attacks.
Students who can remote access their schools can also get extra information passed on by teachers and professors. They can see class locations and most importantly check their test scores and grades.
Is remote access just for universities?
Absolutely not, remote access is currently being used by elementary schools as well. The Education Bureau of Yi-Lan County in Taiwan recently used Radware technology to assure remote access for its school system.
Teachers can correct work from home and remote access their grading programs remotely. Parents of students can check on their child's progress and see if they have missing assignments. They can also check their child attendance records to see if their children are skipping classes.
Where is remote access being used?
Remote access is being used all over the world. Keimyung University in Korea built a campus-wide 10-gigabit high-speed backbone network to accommodate more than 27,000 students and 90 departments in nine faculties and 19 colleges. As a result, users have a continuous and secure connection to university resources. Concordia University in Wisconsin is one of 10 universities in the Concordia University System creditworthy for ensuring the availability and optimized performance of all email, Web access and administrative systems for more than 5,200 students. Remote access with Radware technology lets them do it all.
When looking for school, check to see what remote access capabilities they offer. For both parents and students remote access is a valuable tool used at all levels in the education system.
