Teachers and managers of educational institutions have had to migrate classroom education to online education through the use of digital platforms. Now more than ever, Hosted PBX VoIP providers and educational institutions are working together to bring education to the homes of each and every one of the millions of students on all educational levels around the world.

Since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, the government, companies, and educational institutions have had to figure out how to continue operating within the limitations that the population is currently in during mandatory quarantine, and it is not clear yet when everyone will be able to return to their daily activities. 

How do Hosted PBX VoIP providers help with online education services?

The functions and app extensions available for hosted PBX VoIP phone systems have allowed educational institutions to:

  • Save time and money
    No extra investment for additional infrastructure, Hosted PBX VoIP services are the least expensive on the market. No worries about installation time. VoIP is often less expensive than traditional phone services, especially for long-distance and international calls. This can save schools and educational institutions a significant amount of money on their phone bills.
  • Possibility of expansion
    Adaptability for users according to the needs of each institution. It can improve communication within the school or educational institution, making it easier for teachers, staff, and administrators to collaborate and share information. Expanding a VoIP system can also facilitate integration with other systems such as Learning Management Systems (LMS) or Student Information Systems (SIS), providing a more comprehensive solution for communication and collaboration.
  • Collaborative education
    Students, teachers, and staff can maintain active communication via text, audio, video, or by sharing files. By providing communication tools that promote interaction and engagement, VoIP can create a more collaborative and interactive learning environment. This can lead to better academic outcomes, improved student engagement, and a more positive learning experience for students.
