What is the Setanta Project?

The Setanta Project is a partnership between St Aidans CBS, the School of Computer Applications, Dublin City University and the National Centre for Technology in Education. The project is supported by the Interactive Learning Research Group.

What are its aims?
To develop a model for a school based intranet for the teaching of second level school subjects.

§ The model will include a description of the necessary hardware, software and human resources required to implement a system.

§ To use the model in school and evaluate its strengths and weaknesses.

§ To make the technology available to other schools.

What are the immediate objectives?

§ To increase the proficiency of a cross section of teachers in the use of PCs and the Intranet, not just as general skills, but specifically related to their subjects.

§ The establishment of an Intranet of course materials.

§ To make this Intranet initially available in the classroom, with fast access and tailored to the needs of the school and curriculum.

§ To extend this Intranet to include a range of subject classrooms.
