Education Network Australia (edna) was a collaborative project between all Australian governments, states and territories and sectors of education and training. The project was partly funded by the Australian Government Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations.
Initiated in 1994 as a means to facilitate access to the internet for schools and vocational education providers, edna developed as a national framework for all levels and sectors of education. Technical development began in earnest in 1996 with an online directory being created. It was considered to be amongst the first database driven website of its kind in Australia and considered to be very much ?state-of-the-art.? edna underpinned key government strategies and policies of national and jurisdictional governments in Australia by providing infrastructure, resources and support in a cost-effective model of service delivery.
Over its life edna has historically played an important strategic role in supporting the uptake of ICT in education and training, supporting practitioners in implementing current technologies and showing leadership and best practice in addressing emerging needs that come with advancement in technology.
Today marks the end of an era. Education Services Australia would like to acknowledge all those innovative, Information Management and Education professionals who have worked on edna over the years and wish them well for the future.
