Summary
Many countries have developed electronic networks for their educational systems and have implemented a wide range of online services. In this chapter, we first review the infrastructure and configuration of these education-specific networks. We then examine the services that are being provided to the various stakeholders in order to identify best practices based on operational experiences. We conclude by making recommendations with regard to the scope and content of services for a model education-specific network.
