WACREN is offering members of its constituency licensed use on its Zoom service until the end of 2020 to support their need for online collaboration tools
Zoom helps universities and schools improve student outcomes with secure video communication services for hybrid classrooms, office hours, administrative meetings, and more. Licensed education plans remove the 40-minute time limit experienced with free accounts and support up to 300 meeting participants.
We want to assist member RENs in supporting lecturers and researchers and alleviating the challenges they face moving their courses and training sessions online. Also, to help decision-makers (VCs, DVCs, Rectors, Provosts, Directors of Research, etc.) faced with increased communication demands as they work towards resolving the crisis currently faced by higher education in the region.
How to Participate
All NRENs are encouraged to deploy Identity Providers for their members as soon as possible. Aside from providing single sign-on and helping to secure the identities of their users, it eases the process of enrolment for the promotion and accessing other WACREN federated services. Please contact noc@wacren.net for this.
Terms and Conditions
WACREN is acquiring additional equipment to extend the on-premise service delivered from its Points of Presence (PoPs) in the region. This service is currently available in Nigeria as part of the WACREN Cloud and soon to be established in Benin, Burkina Faso, Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Mali and Togo
