It is hoped the system will revolutionise teaching
Scotland's 800,000 teachers and pupils are to be linked by one of the world's first schools intranet systems.
The Scottish Executive has announced a £37.5m contract to develop the system, which should be online by early 2007.

I am actually working on this, the SSDN project.

In addition, we are also working on the C2K (northern ireland) version.

It's a really interesting MASSIVE project.

Cool Lewis,
It must be a pretty decent project. What about we poor English (and of course our Welsh cousins) anything in the pipeline for us?

England has the same thing but in more regional application at the moment (such as the SWGfL - south west grid for learning).

Search google for "BSF - building schools for the future", that is the whole kit and kapbudle for england, every school and educational institution in one big network. We are involved in that as well.
