Description
- Abstract
- FSM (COM-FSM)'s "connecting micronesian communities of learning: community-based college wifi in the federated states of micronesia" project will bring effective broadband services to the COM-FSM community at all the campuses. Through this project, the college aims to bring technological equity to its campuses and the students they serve. Activities: the connecting micronesian communities of learning: community-based college wifi in the federated states of micronesia project will improve WI-FI access across the six campuses that COM-FSM serves. The existing slow and unstable broadband network connections will be upgraded, and existing network speeds will be increased. Outcomes: the implementation of the program will address the need for better broadband access and increase the value and potential of the free laptops that students currently have access to at the college. The project will provide broadband access for students as they receive training in various vocational and academic programs and allow for the college to take full advantage of its new status of providing online instruction as one of its modes of instruction. The project would see the retention of the college of micronesia's current users across all six campuses that include students, faculty, and staff of the college. Having reliable and accessible internet will encourage more students to participate online, as well as invite non-traditional students to take courses for improvement of skills, or to complete a degree. Beneficiaries: all students, faculty, staff, and surrounding community members in the federated states of micronesia will benefit from the improved broadband networks. Access to reliable internet will improve educational opportunities for current and prospective students. Improved overall communications will also add to the quality of life for the students and associated persons as they can access online resources that they would have not otherwise been able to access.subrecipient activities (if applicable): the recipient does not intend to subaward funds.
