== Overview ==



The ''Isle of Man'' is a British Crown Dependency set in the [[Irish Sea]] between [[United Kingdom|Great Britain]] and [[Ireland]].

The Isle of Man has a population of [[Has population::80,000]] according to a recent census. Its capital is [[Has capital::Douglas]].

The Isle of Man has "World-class telecoms and power infrastructure" (http://www.whereyoucan.im/Sectors-Detail/eBusiness.aspx)

=== Internet in Education ===

There is little visible sign of major supply or consumption of e-learning capability in HE or FE on or from to the Island, but at the schools level, things are very different. As noted by the Department of Education: Back in September 2000 all teachers were first provided with a laptop computer and all schools were fitted with wireless networks. This scheme, which included extensive training for teachers, was world leading and continues to the present day. A wireless broadband network links all schools in the Island and delivers a high speed filtered internet feed together with extensive learning resources and a highly effective communications system. This same intranet facilitates a support service through which some 4,500 computers are maintained directly from a central location. To the general public on the Island, perhaps the most visible aspect of the ICT initiatives is the Manx Telecomputer Bus, which is sponsored by Manx Telecom and is the Department's innovative approach to delivering the very latest technology to schools across the Island. Recently refurbished and re-launched, it is basically a mobile classroom containing 23 wireless iMac computers with flat screens and an electronic whiteboard. When the bus arrives at a school it connects to the school’s own network so pupils’ existing work can be accessed and their work saved back onto the school server. At the same time as delivering exemplary lessons to pupils, teachers receive the very latest training while on board. (1)
