Background of the Study
The increasing shift to online learning, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, has significantly transformed educational environments worldwide, including at Federal University, Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State. However, one of the challenges that institutions face is efficiently allocating network resources to ensure smooth and uninterrupted access to online learning platforms, video lectures, and other digital educational resources.
Inadequate network resource allocation often leads to issues such as poor performance, latency, and unreliable access to educational tools, which can negatively impact students’ learning experiences. This study will focus on optimizing network resource allocation to support online learning activities, ensuring high-quality access for students and faculty members while maintaining the overall performance of the campus network.
