Background of the Study
Smart classrooms are becoming increasingly popular in higher education, offering enhanced learning environments through the integration of digital tools, interactive technologies, and advanced networking systems. These classrooms rely heavily on robust network performance to deliver uninterrupted services such as online learning, video conferencing, and interactive media (Bello & Nwafor, 2024).
At Federal University, Lafia, the implementation of smart classrooms has led to improved learning experiences, but the performance of the network infrastructure supporting these classrooms is critical to their success. Issues such as latency, bandwidth congestion, and network downtime can severely affect the quality of the educational experience. Evaluating network performance in smart classrooms is crucial to ensuring that these classrooms operate optimally and provide seamless access to educational resources (Chukwu et al., 2023).
This study aims to evaluate the performance of the network infrastructure in the smart classrooms at Federal University, Lafia, and recommend solutions to improve network reliability and efficiency.
