Launched in 2001, the e-Learning
Foundation aims to significantly increase access to ICT (Information
Communication Technology) in education.
A key aspect of the e-Learning initiative is to ensure that
every school pupil in the United Kingdom will have access
to a personal portable computer within the next five years.
Information Technology today develops at a frightening pace
and simply keeping abreast of the latest developments can
be a full-time job. Broadband internet connectivity, wireless
technology, security, virtual private networks - all these
technologies can provide huge gains in efficiency and potentially
large cost savings too.
But in today's jungle of technical jargon and acronyms, how
can people who are already stretched in their daily working
lives find the time to keep informed about how these new technologies
can enable them to work smarter, manage budgets and invest
with confidence in the right technologies.
Schools know that they need to be looking at new technologies.
This is exactly where Cisilion, in partnership with the e-Learning
foundation, can help you.
The e-Learning Foundation, a registered charity, aims to bridge
the digital divide and ensure that all children, irrespective
of their background, can have access to a portable computer
for use in school and at home. Cisilion are perfectly placed
to help the e-Learning Foundation, and you, acheive this aim.
As a Cisco premier partner, we are always up to date on the
latest networking and internet technologies. With our superbly
qualified technical services team, we have the know-how to
provide surveys and recommendations on how schools can best
use modern networking technologies to implement the solutions
they need. With our seminars, we
can pass on to you the information you need to make the right
decisions.
The potential impact of the Foundation's initiative is enormous
and benefits will include:
- reducing the disadvantage that the "digital divide"
creates
- assisting pupils to access new ways of learning and new
learning resources
- ensuring that learning through technology can happen both
at school and at home
- raising children's IT literacy levels
- enhancing personal job prospects
- reducing skill shortages to benefit the UK economy
- placing young people at the centre of developments to
promote connected communities
