TECHNOLOGY AND INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT
special software for academic activities and institutional information systems. In addition, in this stage the databases equivalent to 2,000 GB of information -property of UDLAP- were transferred.
Moreover, we increased the service bandwidth of the college computer network from 120 to 170 Mbps, as an addition to the technology infrastructure investment project.
We consolidated the communication strategy through social media, which allows us to maintain closer and continual contact with our students, graduates and future students.
The number of followers in the institutional social media increased 53% in the case of Facebook and 338% in Twitter, which represents 14,500 and 5,040 followers respectively. Likewise we implemented regulations in connection with UDLAPs social media management, which has given rise to 34 similar communication means for specific audiences.
In the case of TVUDLAP, 94 transmissions were broadcast this year, reaching a total audience of more than 25,000 viewers. Likewise, as of this year we have implemented technology for broadcasting reception through mobile devices.
In addition, our YouTube channel has reached 324,000 reproductions with more than 100 hours of available content.
We continue maintaining links with avant-gard technology corporations such as Microsoft, Hewlett- Packard and Extreme Networks. This year thanks to such agreements, the Microsoft Home Use Program was launched, which gives special prices to our academic and administrative community in the acquisition of software.
Together with Microsoft and the Ilumina Foundation, the Microsoft Office tools certification test for blind and visually-impaired individuals was carried out, with the intention to help handicapped people to integrate themselves productively into society in their capacity of assistants or performing other activities where Word, Excel and Outlook are used at an intermediate basic level. Accreditation was made with the help of the Microsoft-IT Academy.
With avant-gard technology and quality service as our strategic vision, the UDLAP shall remain within the international academic standards that have characterized us up to this day, making our institution a national and international reference.
