School ICT Infrastructure Planning Workbook

The documents below are examples from an ICT Infrastructure Planning Workbook that is being used by local schools, to assist in their school ICT planning process in general, and the ICT infrastructure component of this process in particular.

The example documents below are not necessarily self-explanatory - they are not intended to be "stand-alone", but rather used in the context of a more wide-ranging planning process. (The keys in each document may assist if you want to delve into the meaning of all the abbreviations.)

However, these details aside, the examples below should provide an idea of the nature of the documentation produced as a result of this review and planning process.
