    8. Purpose of Functional Specification to be learner/educator centric to describe the issues that should be considered when designing and building school networks not technology specific details the functions that infrastructure should provide supported by technical documents, standards and specifications

    9. Functional specification Using ICT to: offer a wide range of choice and access Learners shall have access to remote learning tools, a learning platform, curriculum resources via a hosting service, ....... Institutions should discuss with their LA/RBC decisions concerning choice and locations of access devices support flexible working Learners and educators shall be able to access appropriate curriculum resources and administration data from all computers in the institution and from all learning spaces within the institution The institution’s network services shall be available for use by authorised users at all times within locally/regionally agreed service hours, unless scheduled maintenance is taking place
