Our digital services should be delivered with a community-based focus on key essential services, ensuring our communities have safe and secure access, are supported and informed and can benefit from learning opportunities.

What we have done so far

ObjectivesWhat we have achieved

Education | Cyber security labs

  • We have created cyber security labs in a number of our academies by recycling older generation computer hardware due for disposal; these academies can now deliver SQA Level 5 and 6 in Cyber Security in a safe and secure environment

Education | Digital learning

  • Working in partnership with Computing at School through BT’s ‘Barefoot Computing’ programme, training, support and classroom resources for computing and computational thinking skills were provided in our schools
  • Fifteen workshops for primary school teachers were delivered with 223 teachers registered to use programme resources in their classrooms

Education | Digital solutions

  • We have developed high-tech 'Protools' labs in every academy, enabling music technology courses to be delivered using industry standard software already in use in further education universities and colleges

Education | Digital innovation

  • Working with engineering partners, we have created an in-house mobile projector system that allows pupils to interact with a PC by projecting screen images on to the floor or wall; using a pointer to open applications and access the internet, the pupil is effectively immersed in the application or web page they are viewing
Education | Digital information
  • We have installed a content management system across a number of our schools that allows staff to present information relating to the school on one or more screens simultaneously
Education | Supporting learning
  • We have provided devices with bi-directional translation software that allow our teachers and pupils to converse verbally or in written format
  • We have converted Chromebooks into Ukrainian, allowing pupils to read, write and produce work in their native language
  • We have supported online courses delivered through the Ayrshire Regional Improvement Collaborative
Health | Digital solutions
  • We are providing digital solutions to help people connect with each other, their family supports, our services and partners
Health | Digital information
  • We are embedding the new Social Work Management Information System across all social work functions, to improve information recording and management and performance monitoring
Health | Digital networks
  • We have provided a shared network solution across the Health & Social Care Partnership which allows secure transactions across all applications and systems whilst providing the necessary safeguards
