All the computers that are accessible should be connected to the network. The network should allow students to connect their laptops and various devise to retrieve their data and submit assignments and projects. High speed connectivity is necessary for when students need to copy or upload large files. Internet access can be controlled and limited to reduce the risk of students downloading illegal software as well as firewalls as mentioned above can restrict the sites and content available. Wi-Fi hotspots should be available so that students can access the network at their leisure. An intranet will be setup which will store all the students’ and staffs’ data. Staff and students should be able to access an ‘online’ library that stores class notes, project notes and helpful resources. The library will be primarily stored on the intranet. These additions will make the network very user friendly and users will not need any assistance once they have used the network a few times. Administrators should have full control over the data on the network and monitor the staff and students’ activities. With the use of an intranet all the data added to the servers can be monitored and assessed. Gigabit Ethernet or fibre optic cables can be used to connect the network relatively cheaply but maintaining high speeds. The network would be one big network with many subnets for use of the staff and
