This pilot program will demonstrate the benefits of using thin-client network computers to deliver curriculum materials and instructional software. The four school districts involved in the pilot program are Northamptonshire, Durham, Middlesbrough and North Tyneside. Technical system management, configuration, and loading of software can all be done online from a central location. Lower total cost of district ownership.
Students can access assignments from home or community learning centers.
Students can use software and their own files from any site, as well as from the home or community center. A school district comprised of one secondary school, two primary schools, and two community libraries. This pilot program, with the support of a company of the caliber of Sun Microsystems in their first K-12 installation in the UK, speaks volumes about these capabilities and the growing industry recognition for our company and its products. The Learning Pathways employee team is to be commended for opening the doors to this opportunity as well as executing the complex installation and customer training side of the project. I believe that this project and its early 2001 implementation will provide additional momentum for another significant fiscal year of growth for the UK division.
