Cisco Provides IP Video Distribution Solution to Mississippi DoE
The Mississippi Department of Education will install Cisco Systems’ Content Delivery Networking (CDN) solution to support the IP video distribution for its Project Stream Initiative. The initiative will give 800 K-12 schools instant access to high-bandwidth video, multimedia, and learning support materials from any classroom within the state. As a result, the Department of Education will be able to create, manage, store, and distribute video materials to every district in Mississippi. A second phase of the program, now underway, involves pushing content out to district offices to provide school administrators with consistent information and conference sessions regarding national and state-mandated accountability programs such as the No Child Left Behind Act. This will provide teachers with professional development opportunities while giving students curriculum tools for remediation initiatives around the high school subject area examinations. Both phases of the implementation are expected to be completed by the end of this month.
