Background of the Study
The rapid advancement of digital learning platforms has revolutionized education, enabling institutions to provide students with seamless access to academic resources. E-learning infrastructure relies on a robust network framework that ensures high availability, security, and scalability. Federal University, Birnin Kebbi, has integrated various digital learning tools, but challenges such as network congestion, cybersecurity threats, and limited scalability hinder its full potential.
A secure and scalable e-learning network infrastructure is crucial for providing uninterrupted access to online courses, video lectures, research materials, and collaboration tools. Security concerns, including data breaches and unauthorized access, must also be addressed to protect students and faculty members from cyber threats. By designing a robust network infrastructure, the university can improve connectivity, optimize bandwidth, and ensure data integrity, ultimately enhancing the learning experience.
This study focuses on designing a secure and scalable e-learning network infrastructure tailored to the needs of Federal University, Birnin Kebbi. The proposed framework will incorporate advanced security protocols, bandwidth optimization techniques, and scalable network architectures to support the growing demands of digital learning.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the increasing adoption of e-learning at Federal University, Birnin Kebbi, the existing network infrastructure faces several challenges. Network congestion due to increased user traffic, security vulnerabilities, and limited scalability are key concerns that hinder effective e-learning delivery. The lack of an optimized network architecture results in slow access to online resources, frequent disruptions, and cybersecurity threats.
Traditional network designs often fail to accommodate the dynamic nature of e-learning platforms, leading to inefficient bandwidth utilization and vulnerability to cyber threats. Without a scalable and secure network framework, students and faculty members may experience difficulties accessing academic content, negatively impacting learning outcomes.
This study aims to address these issues by designing a secure and scalable e-learning network infrastructure that enhances performance, minimizes security risks, and supports future growth.
