NBL is a national, independent platform that stimulates and assists various social sectors in making better and more efficient use of broadband. Knowledge sharing is crucial in this regard. To promote the use of broadband services in education, NBL has initiated various activities in the education domain. SURFnet and Kennisnet also actively collaborate in the field of broadband in education. Together, they offer a comprehensive range of services for the entire education sector, from primary education to higher and scientific education.
The (partly overlapping) objectives of NBL, SURFnet, and Kennisnet, as well as the specific need for a baseline measurement among the three parties, are the starting point for this research, describing the current use of broadband in education up to July 2005.
The aim of the monitor is to assess: (1) awareness regarding broadband in education; (2) the use of broadband in education; and (3) the support for broadband in education.
Through an online survey, teachers (and deans), ICT coordinators/managers, and school administrations are questioned in both primary education (PO), secondary education (VO), and in vocational education and adult education (BVE). An online survey offers a good opportunity to quickly gather information on the use and experiences of broadband in education among teachers and ICT coordinators in the education sector.
