Glow (Scottish Schools National Intranet)

Glow is the Scottish Schools National internet. This is a major national ICT and telecommunications programme managed by Education Scotland. The funding for Glow came from the Scottish Government and the project is a collaboration between local authorities, Education Scotland and RM Education.

Initial rollout

Preparation for Glow began with an investigatory phase known as Phase Zero, which involved checking that Glow could interface with the management information systems of the 32 Education Authorities in Scotland in order to provide the anticipated 800,000 accounts. Glow was then piloted over a number of stages, and at each stage further functionality was introduced and tested.

Up and running by 2009, it became the world's first national education intranet.[1]

gollark: The adjacency list on my test sample, which was not a reasonable webpage length, was only 70k thingies.
gollark: I can totally see this being useful if I have vast quantities of integers which need to be highly compactly represented, but the quantities aren't *that* vast.
gollark: No, it has it in a separate module.
