To ensure a smooth and efficient experience with edMesh Classroom Management, it is important to have the right network and Internet speed, as well as meet the recommended system requirements for devices used by both teachers and students. Below, you'll find a detailed breakdown of the minimum and recommended requirements needed to run edMesh effectively, ensuring optimal classroom connectivity and performance.
Internet Speed Requirements
For Teachers:
As a teacher, your device must have a stable and reliable broadband connection with a minimum Internet download and upload speed of 2.5 Mbps to effectively use edMesh Classroom Management.
However, this is a baseline estimate. If you plan to conduct more demanding activities such as high-resolution screen sharing or streaming during your classroom sessions, you will need faster speeds. For these tasks, it is recommended to have at least 10 Mbps upload and download speeds. While this is still not particularly fast, it will provide a much smoother experience.
For Students:
For students, each device should also have a stable and reliable broadband connection with a minimum download and upload speed of 2.5 Mbps. This is sufficient for the standard use of edMesh Classroom Management.
However, if a student needs to share their screen or participate in more bandwidth-intensive activities, higher speeds may be required to ensure a seamless experience.
Network Capacity Considerations:
Aside from individual Internet speeds, the overall network capacity must also be taken into account, especially when multiple students and teachers are connecting to the same network.
In a scenario where an entire class is using edMesh Classroom Management, ensure that the network is robust and can support the bandwidth capacity needed for each client. For example, a class of 25 students plus the teacher would require approximately 75 Mbps of total bandwidth capacity to maintain smooth operation, excluding any other data transfers occurring on the network.
Recommended System Requirements
For edMesh Classroom Management to function optimally, it is essential to have devices that meet or exceed the following minimum system requirements:
For Teachers:
- Chromebook: Supported and capable of running the latest stable build of ChromeOS, with hardware similar to Windows or macOS specifications.
- Windows Requirements:
- OS: Windows 10 or higher
- CPU: Intel Core i5 4-core, 8th generation or higher desktop CPU
- Memory: 8GB RAM, dual memory channel recommended
- macOS Requirements:
- OS: macOS 10.14 or higher
- CPU: M1 chip
- Memory: 8GB unified memory
For Students:
- Chromebook: Supported and capable of running the latest stable build of ChromeOS
By ensuring that both the network speed and system requirements are met, you can provide a seamless and efficient experience for all users of edMesh Classroom Management. This setup will help facilitate productive learning environments where teachers and students can focus on education rather than technical issues.
