Education IT Solutions

Challenge

The global education market is at a “tipping point.” The convergence of IT and interactive teaching methodologies is revolutionizing the way students learn. No longer does instruction have to happen only inside the walls of the classroom.

With new cloud-based information technology, teachers can coach virtual student work teams from afar. Students can collaborate with and learn from each other in between classes. Administrators can monitor performance, and parents can help track their children’s learning process.

All are collectively striving for higher levels of creativity, performance, and accountability.

Technology Solution

To support this new paradigm, EMC has partnered with leading educators, application providers, and professional instructional design firms to build the most flexible and modular cloud-based solutions on the market today. EMC Education IT Solutions enable schools to facilitate anytime, anywhere learning, instruction, and administration over the Internet.

As a result, they can reduce capital expense and provide access to education applications like Moodle and iPass. They can also promote best practices across multiple schools, districts, and state education departments by deploying shared services either onsite or through a hosting provider.

EMC Education IT Solutions are customizable, can include a robust Student Information System (SIS), and support the automated migration of student records and multiple SIS formats. In addition, our solutions have significant levels of data security by combining the open source Host-based Intrusion Detection System (HIDS) OSSEC with technology from RSA, The Security Division of EMC, and realtime intrusion detection for protection of student records, projects, or test score data.

EMC Education IT Solutions help to “reform” education because they provide significant technology enhancements while understanding how K-12 educators function.
