CONNECTIVITY AND COMPUTER SECURITY IN UNIVERSITIES: CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PROBLEMS OF OPEN EDUCATION RESOURCES IN ARGENTINA

Nowadays, as the volume of information available on the web increases, technologies for communication and information processing also increase. And in a world, where technology is part of daily life, educational institutions must work on specific strategies to penetrate communication channels.

One of the main problems of the educational institutions in Argentina is related to an incorrect design of the network architecture. Mainly this happens when it grows rapidly and does not foresee the expansion of it. This is so important for the development of new and enhanced open education resources.

In this work, we present the methodology used to analyze network architectures, measure performance between the different nodes and design fast and secure networks. In addition, we also present the different strategies to provide and guarantee wireless access to mass users of an educational institution. In second place, the exploitation strategy of these networks is proposed to bring more and better educational applications to the final users.

As a result of this work, the topology design of the Network is shown, the analysis of the results of the data transfer measurements between the different nodes of the Network and the impact of the implementation in the final users.
