A study, highlighted by Edutopia, talked about a crucial need to have virtual classrooms even more intentionally than physical ones. Teachers at central site, communicating remotely, should use a single, dedicated hub for important documents like assignments. This is to simplify communications and reminders by using one channel like email or text; and reduce visual clutter like hard-to-read fonts and unnecessary decorations throughout their virtual spaces.
The same study explained that the tools are new to everyone, regular feedback on topics like accessibility and ease of use is crucial. Teachers should post simple surveys asking questions like “Have you encountered any technical issues?” and “Can you easily locate your assignments?” to ensure that students experience a smooth-running virtual learning space.
New education techniques include

“As data center needs expand, data center operators and managers should strategize enhancements that improve day-to-day management. “
Data Center improvements needed
Areas of improvements in Data Center facilities within education institutions may include
Micro data centers (MDC), as the name suggests, are smaller versions of the full-fledged data centers. Eaton’s iCube comes with in-rack cooling components that eliminates the need for room level cooling system and cooling loss thus reducing total infrastructure costs. Set up times at education institutions can be shortened with the micro data center as the solution arrives prefabricated. Eaton iCube provides rapid deployment, highly reliable power management components that are tested and assembled before delivery. The single-cabinet Eaton iCube system can be deployed quickly and offers great flexibility in installed configurations. This system can be placed in an office, basement, or any common indoor environment.
After installation of the system, the education institution will be able save service time to reduce system downtime. Fewer IT professional labor hours will be needed on IT management as Eaton iCube comes with a single interface to monitor various part of the system and IT staff can receive an alert notification should there be an issue.
