Project overview and objectives
Connected–Any Student, Any School aims to link schools from across Tasmania’s three major school systems through a collaborative data centre. This data centre will host a diverse range of educational resources from the public, independent and Catholic school systems.
The data centre will allow any student, teacher or parent in any of the participating school systems to have access to a wide range of teaching, collaborative and learning resources. For example, students from two different school systems will have the ability to work on projects together and share this with the rest of the participating schools. Parents will be able to go online and look at the syllabus and the range of materials available to their children. Teachers will also benefit through the sharing of teaching resources. The data centre will enable sharing of expertise and resources in different subjects and will help to level the playing field across regional, rural and remote areas in Tasmania.
Through this collaborative project, students will have access to a wide range of resources at their fingertips no matter where they are or what kind of school they go to.
