Section outline

  • Summary

    One of the core components of the UAP Network is the UAP Gateway and Server. The UAP Gateway and Server was designed to address several challenges and needs of people making use of these technologies in rural schools. For example, it should be able to filter inappropriate Internet content and protect users from outside attackers as much as possible. These sites often operate in low and unreliable Internet connection environments, pre-loading the servers with many educational resources locally accessible will significantly improve the learning experience for users. The UAP Gateway and Server also comes with a collection of useful tools to build local content and share files among other things. All of these features are packaged and presented to the users into a easy to use Community and School Portal website. This session introduces the participants to this UAP Gateway and Server and a brief overview of its user features through the Community and School Portal.
