Why do educational facilities need enhanced power protection?

摘要

With universities' large populations, power problems can threaten public safety as well as multiple educational and administrative ICT systems. A power failure could take out campus lights, phones, computers, and even electrically controlled door locks. Such results could create panic or disorder incidents. Additionally, universities are increasingly embedding technology into education. Leicester University, for example, uses a 'One iPad per student' programme. Students bring their iPads to every class session to take notes, capture online resources, collaborate in groupwork sessions, and use multimedia learning materials. Other universities in the UK and worldwide are implementing similar '1:1' policies.
