\"DigitalLightspeed Systems\u2019 new \u2018Universal Connectivity\u2019 module provides actionable insight into students\u2019 internet connectivity and school-issued device health when learning outside of school \u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

AUSTIN, TX (May 2, 2023) \u2013<\/b> Lightspeed Systems<\/a>, the leader in safe and secure education technology, announces Universal Connectivity<\/a>\u2014a module that provides robust and real-time connectivity and device health data on students\u2019 school-issued devices. Universal Connectivity helps school and district leaders understand the challenges students experience while trying to study outside of school so they can ensure all students stay connected to learning.<\/p>\n

According to the 2022 Student Home Connectivity Study<\/a> from the Consortium for School Networking (COSN), gaps remain nationwide in network performance and internet speeds at all grade levels for students connecting from outside a school, with approximately one-third of high school students experiencing \u201cFar Below\u201d or \u201cBelow Guidelines\u201d for connectivity from home. In addition, large disparities exist among student subgroups, particularly by ethnicity and socioeconomically disadvantaged students.<\/p>\n

Empowering school and district leaders, Universal Connectivity provides a complete, real-time view of each student\u2019s school-issued devices, including a device\u2019s overall health, operating system, internet speed, service provider and more. Leaders can drill-down into specific data on each individual student and their devices, as well as view overall district-wide usage to help identify local communities that need additional support and resources. Universal Connectivity is customizable, giving leaders the option to turn on specific data and usage stats.<\/p>\n

\u201cLightspeed Systems\u2019 Universal Connectivity will help us bridge the digital divide in the communities that our schools serve, ensuring we determine which students need additional resources, like hotspots and more,\u201d said Eric Hileman, Executive Director of IT for Oklahoma City Public Schools, and a Lightspeed client and Universal Connectivity beta user. \u201cEnsuring each one of our students has consistent access to the internet after school is paramount to our teaching and learning goals.\u201d<\/p>\n
