- have invested in a Welsh Video Network for the sector - one of the largest Internet-based videoconferencing networks in Europe
- fund the Public Sector Broadband Aggregation (PSBA) programme to deliver improved services for the people of Wales through facilitating greater efficiency and collaboration across the public sector
- provide funding for IT through the capital fund for learning and teaching and IT
- developed a technology-enhanced learning strategy which we supported with £1 million to run the Gwella project
