Policy Shifts
Changing gears.
(GBR) There seems to be a gear shift of policies relating to the debate and operations of many public institutions and agencies in the UK in favour of new media and technology. Maybe it’s the obvious cases of quicker, more measurable and cheaper which is the driver, nevertheless it’s welcomed.
Here are a few illustrations:
- a new Harnessing Technology 2008 says technology in learning is no longer optional;
- exploring more transparency with the ‘world class’ public service reform agenda;
- House of Lords on YouTube;
- 1,000 schools awarded the ICT Mark;
- an example of the transparency cited about with the blog of the Power of Information Task Force.
It’s a great start…
