Celestix for Education
Moving education onto the Internet offers students exciting new educational and creative opportunities. Networked education also promises benefits to teachers and school administrator such as flexible delivery of educational materials and programs as well as cost savings. Yet, the Internet also puts students—whether at public school districts, community colleges, or major universities—at risk for illegal sharing of copyrighted information and for access to inappropriate materials. Without careful management, students and staff can also waste valuable network resources and endanger network operations with pursuits that don't relate to institutional goals.
