"Technological Efficiency and Opportunities for Universities" is the title of the White Paper published by Axians. The document highlights a range of services offered by the FCCN Unit.
Intersecting “key challenges” with “specific opportunities for the higher education community” is the objective defined during the executive summary of “Technological Efficiency and Opportunities for Universities”, by the person in charge of Axians, Pedro Faustino. In this sense, he adds, the publication aims to offer higher education institutions a “map for the future,” highlighting, above all, “the evolving role that the right technologies have played” for members of the higher education community and for the coherence of life in campus.
THE White Paper lists a set of technological tools that can be useful to higher education institutions in responding to contemporary challenges. However, more than “a mere list of technological and efficient solutions”, the publication aims to focus “the challenges felt by the education community”, adds Pedro Faustino, thus highlighting the specific role that technology plays in a society in constant transformation.
The first section of this White Paper is titled "Disruptive Education" and focuses on ways to "empower members of academic communities through innovative information technologies." In this chapter, a set of services from the FCCN Unit— Educast, Colibri, Videocast, FCCN Studio and NAU – are highlighted as tools that “can help modernize the way universities interact and collaborate remotely.”
“These platforms simplify the way people teach and learn, through synchronous and asynchronous activities”, Axians experts believe. Through this type of service, they add, the FCCN Unit "offers the right tools that allow universities to implement different educational models," thus preparing higher education institutions with "virtual and hybrid environments" that are compatible with traditional educational approaches.
