Bridging the digital divide The Case of CHEP
This document summarizes CHEP's experience integrating information and communication technologies (ICTs) into Ipusukilo Community School in Zambia. CHEP trained 7 teachers in computer and internet skills like typing, Windows, Office, email and browsing. This enabled teachers to incorporate radio lessons, communicate with guardians, submit reports, and establish international partnerships. As a result, exam performance improved for students taking the radio classes, attendance at meetings increased, and the school gained sustainability through income-generating activities. However, challenges included poor infrastructure and lack of electricity at the rented building.

CCNA Voice
ABC High School is a private college that delivers education to students from years’ 8 to 12. The campus sits on approximately 5 hectares of manicured grounds, 6 kilometres from the CBD of Adelaide. It consists of a large two-story building containing the majority of the classrooms (22) and administration offices, a dedicated music and arts suite with two classrooms, a resource centre, and an indoor gymnasium containing two full sized basketball courts. There is also a large outdoor oval, tennis courts and practice cricket nets.
The school has a modern approach to education and focuses on the use of technology in the classroom. All students have their own iPads and are used daily in a variety of subjects including science and maths. These are connected to the schools’ wireless network which has recently been upgraded to cover the majority of the campus and support the device density in each classroom. In addition there are 2 purpose built computer rooms located in the resource centre containing 30 modern PCs each, and 4 trolleys of 40 wireless laptops which can be borrowed on an adhoc basis for classroom use. The students also have access to 6 printers and photocopies located throughout the campus.
The campus network has just undergone a major refresh which includes a replacement of all existing networking hardware, excluding wireless. The new network delivers 10Gb interconnects and 1Gb to all end devices though a combination of both OM1 and OM3 fibre for vertical cabling and CAT5e and CAT6 for horizontal cabling. The schools’ WAN has also just been upgraded from a 20Mbps to 100Mbps to support the increased traffic due to the iPad usage. Both the logical and physical diagrams have been included in this case study for your reference and should be accurate and reflect the recent changes.
The school currently has a 10 year old PBX connection which is becoming ever difficult to upgrade and maintain. It currently consists of the following components:
- 1 x Ericsson 50 PBX
- 1 x Reception handset that provides the ability for call forwarding, call holding, directory lookup and night mode.
- 30 x basic desktop phones with caller ID
- 6 x wireless antennas with school building and courtyard coverage for 4 cordless phones
- 10 x external lines bound to 1 incoming number (Reception)
- 10 x external line bound to 1 incoming number (Management x 5, IT administrator, Finance, Canteen, Gym, Resource Centre)
- Incoming calls are supplied via an E1 connection from a telco.
As the school wishes to install handsets in each classroom, the current PBX does not have the handset capacity. This combined with the age of the current PBX, it has approved the finance and installation of a VoIP solution to be rolled out throughout the school.
The Voice over IP Project must meet the following requirements:
1. The reception desk must have a physical phone capable of handling several incoming calls, place calls on hold, internal transfer and at lea ...

This document discusses how Botany Downs Kindergarten in New Zealand has embraced technology integration in early childhood education. It began when teachers observed children texting and taking photos on obsolete cell phones, realizing they needed to incorporate the children's technology skills into learning. They have since integrated iPads, interactive whiteboards, movie-making, blogging and Skype to foster both individual and shared learning. Teachers act as role models by using technology for tasks like meetings and professional development. While starting with basic skills, the kindergarten aims to achieve "redefinition" by using technology for new activities not previously possible.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
