Educational-focused MSPs, like E-Tuition, are aware of all the inconveniences technology can bring onto a classroom as well as how it can uplift and engage your students.
Continuous changes in technology can become daunting and challenging for schools. Leaders in education are continuously tackling numerous priorities. One of the biggest challenges we have noticed is that keeping students engaged and secure both in the classroom and at home can become difficult. With outdated devices and IT networks unable to support modern learning requirements, schools face difficulties in remaining ahead of the curve.
Nowadays, technology plays a key role in how young people engage in learning. Many teachers have been in situations where IT-related issues are the primary reason for class disengagement. Often, faculty members have been in countless positions where either the Wi-Fi is too slow resulting in loss of class focus, the printer has run out of ink when they need them most or even the one desktop in the computer room has stopped working mid-lesson. All of these technical issues can lead to a lack of morale alongside the loss of class productivity.
In this article, we will be discussing how an MSP like E-Tuition can empower your School.
- Hardware Procurement, Purchasing, Installation and Deployment
When it comes to IT configuration, most Schools assume it is a “plugin and go” process. However, planning, finding, buying, and installing an entire computer lab can be time-consuming, stressful, and costly.
It is crucial to implement a strong, functioning, and supported IT infrastructure for students to engage through technology and enhanced learning. Prices and models of technologies are constantly changing; therefore, budgeting can become very difficult when deciding what computer, tablet, or laptop suits best for your students and staff.
This is where an MSP, like E-Tuition, comes in to give schools more time to focus on daily tasks and removes the stress of organising an entire IT network for your students.
- Hardware Lifecycle Management
Managed IT Service Providers like E-Tuition monitor device lifecycles to ensure your servers, devices, and overall network work efficiently, are up to date, and secure.
You can be sure that your school will have the best support on hand to guarantee that your software and hardware are both properly maintained across the whole infrastructure, and all of your data is securely handled.
- Managed Print Services
Printing is an essential element in contributing to class productivity and faculty efficiency. Whether it be learning how to write, worksheets, essays, student reports, tests, at the core of every handout is a printer.
E-Tuition provides Managed Print Services so that your students and faculty can remain on track with their course by monitoring & supplementing the necessary toners and offering printer monitoring and maintenance for a monthly cost.
- Managed IT Support
Numerous daily technical issues that can hinder engagement rates within the classroom can become frustrating – slow broadband, desktop malfunctions, missing emails, or educational files. Trusting a Managed Service Provider provides you with a place to turn to when these issues occur. MSPs help desk is just a phone call, email, or ticket away and your faculty can turn to an IT professional in a time of technical difficulties.
- Safeguard Students and Faculty
Schools collect lots of critical data on their students and faculty. Student records include grades, disciplinary history, home addresses, health records, and information about learning disabilities.
Managed IT services can protect all private data through security and networking solutions. They can also help protect students’ privacy online by setting VPN policies. A managed IT provider can prevent cybercriminals from extracting personal information by monitoring students’ internet activity and blocking access to non-educational sites.
