Schools Services: Videoconferencing Partners

VC Partners is a template for school videoconference partnering projects managed by Local Authorities, Regional Grids for Learning or any representative of a group of schools.

JANET(UK) provides the partnering application form and documentation to regions to enable them to easily run their own VC partnering project. JANET(UK) may also be able to facilitate introductions between contacts in the UK and abroad. For any questions about the partnering template or to start your own regional partnering project please email vcpartners@ja.net.
