Scotland poised for ‘world’s first’ schools intranet

Thanks Ray Schroeder for pointing to The Scottish Executive having sealed a multi-million pound deal to link up every pupil and teacher through what is said to be the world’s first national school intranet. The contract will provice a secure online learning environment connecting 800,000 students in all 3,000 schools in the country. The other two components of the system, a large-scale ‘content delivery infrastructure’ and its broadband backbone known as the ‘Interconnect’, are already in place. (Northern Ireland’s Classroom 2000 (C2K) project appears to have achieved all of this already as the world’s first national schools intranet.) It’s good to see parts of the information supply chain go into place as a package.
