Most students in schools and colleges have access to the Internet, with its access to a vast amount of knowledge, and a personal email address.

Teachers are encouraged to use ICT methods of teaching such as Internet research, interactive whiteboards, delivery of lessons through computer videos, online tutorials or podcasts, interactive assessments and blogs.

A VLE (Virtual Learning Environment) provides a customisable environment and learning tools for students to take responsibility for their own education. Students can progress at their own speed.

Assessment is frequently done online with instant feedback to the student and monitoring of progress.

Assistance can be available at any time using email.

Education can be done in school or college, at home or even on the move with laptop computers.
