ABSTRACT

David Teece and Kevin Mulryne describe a service for learners unable to attend school that is innovative on a number of levels. First, it harnesses the potential of ICT to change workloads and ways of working to improve social inclusion and curriculum engagement. Secondly, it provides an example of a partnership with a commercial organisation in developing the electronic learning infrastructure for the service. Thirdly, it shows how LEAs can work as part of consortia in developing, delivering and maintaining a service to otherwise vulnerable pupils.
