The advantage for educators is the ability for groups of students and teachers to collaborate, to safely save all documents in a centralized repository and to have universal access to all content ever created.
Collaboration and content management requirements of an Educational Institute
Communication & Collaboration: Teacher - to - Teacher
Teachers have different peer groups that they interact and collaborate with, regularly. The staff needs to work together on curriculum development, sharing best practices, deploying policies and procedures and facilitate professional development.
Student - Student Collaboration
Students have a need to work with each other in a secured environment that enables collaborative working on team projects, documents or assignments.
Teacher - Student Collaboration
Teachers and Students need a secured and managed collaboration environment to support various activities such as providing course / lesson information, reference materials, assignments and other digital information that supplement in-class training. Students require similar access to submit their assignment, reports, and projects back to the teachers. Students require a forum to pose questions and request supplement information
Problems and challenges faced by educational Institutes
Regulatory and Operational Issues
Managing millions of documents generated by staff and students including those from overseas and distributed campuses is a cumbersome issue.
Planning Quality Audits
Universities operate in a tight regulatory framework augmented by frequent quality audits. Planning for these audits involves collecting and arranging copious amounts of documentation.
Type and Choice of Computer
An educational organization has varied requirements for computing environments like MacOS, Windows or Linux. They have no control over the computers used by its students and teachers at home. Educational Organizations need to know that all its systems will work efficiently within all types of computing environments.
Limited IT and Maintenance Staff
Educational organizations typically do not have large IT and support teams dedicated to maintain their communication and collaboration infrastructure, they need solutions that require significantly few or no staff to maintain
