Pennsylvania s Lincoln University has boosted wireless connectivity in all its campus spaces with a network rollout designed to meet the demands of both in-person and remote instruction. The historically Black institution deployed high-density WiFi 6 access points from Extreme Networks at its 422-acre main campus and off-campus graduate center, as well as the company s cloud network management solution.
The new network can support 3,000 users and 5,000 devices daily, according to a news announcement. Students can access livestreamed courses and recorded lectures both indoors and outdoors without connectivity issues, and because the coverage extends across the entire campus, they can study without congregating in large groups around a WiFi signal.

Open LMS has announced plans to release all of its Moodle modules and enhancements by the end of the year, as well as dedicate more resources toward developing features and code for the open source learning management system.
