The pupils' centre or
'GridClub' for 7-11 year olds is intended to be a major
addition to the National Grid for Learning in 1999. To date,
the NGfL has been aimed, primarily, at professional users.
The new development will seek to deploy the potential of
information and communications technologies to help young
people to learn. It is essential that GridClub adds value
for users to the many offerings available on the
Internet. The object is to commission
research on (as a minimum): the market for such a pupils'
centre, on the quantity and type of content which should be
included, on the style and design of the Club, and on the
best arrangements for the development, management and
on-going funding of the site. Advice is also needed on the
safeguards and any other aspects that need to be considered
to provide a safe, yet stimulating environment in which
young people can learn.
