RD217 - Statewide Web-Based Standards of Learning Technology Initiative


Executive Summary:
The 2008-09 school year marks the ninth year of implementation for Virginia’s Web-Based Standards of Learning (SOL) Technology Initiative. Its goal is to use Web-based systems to improve SOL instructional, remedial, and testing capabilities in high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools. The initiative has four objectives:

1. Provide at least one computer for every five students

2. Create Internet-ready local area network capabilities in every school

3. Assure adequate high-speed, high-bandwidth capabilities for instructional, remedial, and testing needs

4. Establish a statewide Web-based SOL test-delivery system
