whitepaper The Future of School2008-09-01 Cisco Systems
  In this paper, the Cisco Internet Business Solutions Group (IBSG) describes a vision of "The future of school" in a period of dramatic change, enabled and often accelerated by powerful new tools of communication and collaboration. Key dimensions of wider education system reform include attracting and developing high-quality teachers; developing holistic curricula and associated assessment frameworks that test the ability to meet the requirements of a global, modern society and a robust economy; and creating practices and regimes that improve processes and outcomes while developing high-quality system leadership. A growing emphasis on public accountability for results and performance - across education systems and within individual schools - is an integral part of extensive, and sometimes contentious, change.

whitepaper What's NEXT in K-12 Collaboration and Productivity2008-04-20 e.Republic
  Collaboration and distance learning technology feature low-cost implementation and operation, compared to outsourced audio-conferencing services. Additional features are also available at a reduced cost, such as audio, visual, application sharing, secure instant messaging and intelligent presence management, which displays contact list and whether or not those contacts are available. The need for districts to deploy collaboration and distance learning technology is evident. Because of varying schedules and locations, district administrators have difficulty bringing together staff members for meetings.
