The basic work by aconium GmbH “Municipal broadband expansion in Germany: basics and recommendations” has been supplemented by a new module on the topic of “School IT infrastructures”.
Digitalization is an important factor for the sustainable development of regions and municipalities. The digital transformation of our society is changing the way people live and work. The education sector has also been affected by this transformation since the coronavirus pandemic at the latest.
In order to be able to offer their pupils pedagogically valuable and technically up-to-date curricula, school authorities will increasingly be tasked with expanding their basic school IT structure, connecting their buildings to broadband infrastructure and thus creating important technical foundations for modern teaching.
In order to take this development into account, you will find a new module on the topic of “School IT infrastructures” in aconium GmbH’s comprehensive basic work “Municipal broadband expansion in Germany: basics and recommendations”.
Background to the basic work:
The reference work claims to be able to tackle municipal broadband expansion in a planned, structured manner and with the relevant basic legal, economic and technical knowledge. aconium GmbH has published it as an aid for municipalities, districts, associations, consultants and interested citizens in the form of a loose-leaf collection. Regularly published supplements keep the loose-leaf collection up to date and provide information on rapidly changing technological developments as well as the current political and legal framework conditions in broadband expansion and digitization.
The 8th supplement to the basic work has now been published, enriched by the completely new and brand-new Module 10 on school IT infrastructures.
The demands on the basic IT structure for efficient and future-oriented digital equipment in schools and educational institutions are high. For example, the equipment of classrooms and teaching materials must be redefined, whereby various aspects must be taken into account and individual decisions made.
As a basis for the new planning of the school’s IT infrastructure, it is necessary to record the initial situation of a school using general data, construction-related facts and the status of the existing communication network. Professional and technical considerations must always go hand in hand when planning the IT infrastructure. The new Module 10 is therefore dedicated to the following important content for school IT infrastructures:
■ School network and IT technology components
■ Usage and security aspects
■ Teaching and learning support equipment
■ Financing.
