How does Camden County College address concerns such as the type and size of bandwidth and the capability of implementing Web 2.0 tools?

  • Since WebStudy is hosted at another site, Camden County College does not need to worry about maintaining the WebStudy system.
    • WebStudy has their system maintained at a secure facility structured to prevent downtime.
    • This is an ideal way to do this because if the power goes out at Camden County College or the Internet goes down, students can still access WebStudy from home or other locations
  • Bandwidth has been an issue at the ground school, especially in the library.  This created problems with streaming online videos for the online courses if the student was actually at a ground location on campus.
    • The Distance Learning Director believes that the bandwidth and Internet availability issues are being addressed by the OIT department and that they should not be an issue down the road.
  • Web 2.0 enhancements are done directly by WebStudy.
    • They continually enhance the system to incorporate new Web 2.0 technolologies.
    • The Distance Learning Department is expecting some more excellent enhancements in the fall of 2012.
