Bye Bye Buffering
Teacher tools like Lesson Management or Adaptive Learning Systems typically use embedded video to encourage independent learning, keep students engaged and clearly communicate complex ideas. When this content feels slow, these benefits can be lost.
It's worse during start of lesson spikes, when whole classes of students try to access the same content at the same time – often demanding 6-7x normal browsing capacity.
Catering for demand with bandwidth alone is wasteful – like building a 20-lane highway to cater for the 5pm rushhour, you may clear traffic at peak times but end up with very expensive unused concrete the rest of the day.
Instead, these spikes can be significantly reduced by caching whereby a cache stores a copy of web content when it is first requested from the internet, and then serves that copy to the rest of the class from within the school's network, relieving the congestion.
Caching accelerates slow content
Deployed in 45 US states and 160 countries worldwide, CACHEBOX stores popular web content on-site and serves it at lightning-fast speeds to the classroom.
No more buffering... no waiting...
