Adapting Education to Emerging Technologies: Meeting Evolving Student Expectations

This agenda explores the intersection of education and emerging technologies as we adapt to changing student expectations. Topics include the influence of different generations in the classroom—Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Generation Y—encouraging collaboration and individual learning preferences. We analyze the future of technology in education, highlighting trends like cloud computing, wireless advancements, and the importance of designing technology-friendly spaces. Additionally, we address safety and security measures in post-9/11 education environments, emphasizing the role of digital tools in enhancing learning experiences.

  2. Agenda • Changing Student Expectations • Technology: what’s next? • Safety & Security • Planning a “Technology Friendly” • Building

  3. Changing Expectations

  4. Changing Expectations • Differing Points of View in the Classroom: • Baby Boomers (Born 1946 – 1964) • Generation X (Born 1965 to 1978) • Generation Y (Born 1979 to 1994) • Very different ideas, desires, learning preferences • Greater emphasis on collaboration • Addressing individual expectations a • significant challenge! 1.

  7. Changing Expectations • Tech Savvy Generation dominates • Many bring an Internet capable device to class • Increasing demand for access to course materials, anywhere, anytime, from any device

  8. Trends in Technology: 36 Month Forecast

  9. Traditional Technology Deployment

  10. “Converged” / IP Network Control Devices Endpoint Devices IP Backbone Network

  11. “Cloud Computing” • Devices Untethered from Applications • Many Students Bring Web-Capable Devices • Web Accessible Applications: • Can be more cost effective, use participants’ device • Dependent upon strong IP Network • Truly “anything anywhere” • iTunes University, polleverywhere.com • Pay-As-You-Go “Software as a Service” • Microsoft Word by the use?

  12. Wireless Matures • Long Term Battle between WiFi, 4G, WiMax

  13. “Major” Advances in Voice • Single handset, single number likely in 24 months • “Presence” will provide a new level of access • Makes Presence known • Highly customized call treatment • Always in the user’s control • Custom Applications possible: • Example: Skill Finder • Google Voice

  14. “Major” Advances in Voice • Single handset, single number likely in 24 months • “Presence” will provide a new level of access • Makes Presence known • Highly customized call treatment • Always in the user’s control • Custom Applications possible: • Example: Skill Finder • Google Voice

  15. Collaboration Comes of Age • Will Augment Face-to-Face Teaching • Truly Useful Tools Emerging • Likely to drive demand • for Video Capture • in classrooms • Voice, in whatever form, is a critical part of: • Collaboration Tools • Lecture “Capture,” Podcasting • Desktop Video/ Video Conferencing / Telepresence

  16. Classroom Technologies • Fully “Mediated” Rooms • HD Video, Presentation Systems with • multiple points of input • Document Camera • Strong Wireless Network • Student Collaboration, Feedback Tools • Secure location for equipment • Abundant electrical outlets for student use • Typically multiple standards • Need Consistent components, Controls • To Lectern or not to Lectern? • Don’t overlook training & video storage

  17. Intruder on Campus Safety and Security • Required in a Post 9/11 World • Mass Notification Increasingly Important: • Digital Signage • Text • Page • Displays on Telephones • Seize A/V Displays • Intelligent Analytics: • Facial Recognition • Shot Spotter • Abandoned Bag Scanner

  18. Ones to Watch… • Voice Recognition • Speech to Text • RFID • Nanotechnology

  19. Designing “Technology Friendly Space”

  20. Wired vs. Wireless • Category 5E is the minimum recommended grade: Cat 5 is dead! • True Universal Cabling strongly encouraged. • TechKnowledge believes the overall demand for cabling has peaked. • With the advent of a single IP network, standardization and pulling cable to a single equipment room are essential. • Wireless Networks are typically in addition to wired network connections. In the Short Term, It’s still a Wired World!

  21. CATV / MATV Ground Bar 4 - 6 " Riser Cores Ladder Rack Equipment and Cable Racks Overhead Page Security Ground Bar V T 4 - 6 " Riser Cores A M / V T A C Equipment and Cable Racks Ladder Rack 4 " Sleeves y t i r u c e S Overhead Page 220 VAC 30 AMP 120 VAC 20 AMP Technology Closet per 20,000 ft. Technology Closets • At Least One Per Floor: • Many Devices, Multiple Networks • Congested Wall Space • Typically at least two 19” racks • May house some A/V components as well • 100 sq. ft. / 20,000 typical • 3’ of working clearance • Floor - VCT or sealed • 208 Volt Components Common • 24 Hour HVAC - (1) air change per hour • UPS now considered essential to power VoIP phones

  22. Data Center Planning Data Centers • Each one is unique • “Tier I, II, III, IV” fashionable • Business continuity essential • Mission critical (24 x 7) • Location sensitive (basement) • Dramatic growth in storage • Onsite (SAN’s) • Backup sites • “Cooled Cabinets” may be an affordable option in some circumstances

  23. Budget Guidelines • Square footage rarely a meaningful predictor of technology costs • Admin Seats + ClassroomsX 1.15 = Telephone Count • Admin Seats + Classrooms X 1.25 = Cable Count • Square Footage / 20,000 per = Number of Technology Closets, IP Switches • Budget Guidelines: • VoIP Phones: $1,100 per telephone • Call Centers / Special Use: $2,500 per position minimum • Wireless: $0.50 per sq. ft. • Cabling: $400 to $550 per faceplate • Data Centers: $150 to $700 per foot • Digital Signage: $0.65 per sq. ft. • IP Networks: Wild Card! • Audio / Visual: $ -0- to Millions • Don’t forget IP ports and cable for security, building automation

  24. It’s Not Easy Being Green • Establish a baseline and measure results • Many opportunities for quick savings: • Enable power saving features on all devices • Virtualization of servers in data centers • Turn down unused servers, PC’s, printers • Consider “virtual desktops” as offerings mature • UPS and HVAC frequently make up 50% of power consumption in a data center • “Flywheel” Generators can be used in lieu of UPS, better options likely to become available soon

  25. Conclusions • Emerging Technologies provide means to: • Stay agile in a rapidly changing world • Meet the needs of the generations • Extend reach beyond classrooms • Distinguish your Institution • Impact Costs of Education • “Conventional Wisdom” no longer applies • Design classrooms with tomorrow in mind • Fasten your seatbelt, hold on tight!
