Universal Communication - Universal PartnershipUniversal Communication - Universal Partnership
Getting it right for every child: Developing an approach that will become the foundation on which ALL services for ALL children & families will be based.
The Scottish Government will develop the policy, core components, values and principles, e-care and data sharing standards. Pathfinding will test these and provide practice examples along the way. However, making Getting it right work on the ground will very much be dependant on a partnership approach.

User Generated Content – the web todayUser Generated Content – the web today
In 10 years (between 1996 and 2006) the number of “read-write” websites has grown from an estimated quarter of a million to 80 million. Whilst the number of people using the internet has grown from millions to billions!
Epic, Web-based Learning Communities Paper, 2007
• Traditionally websites have been “read-only” (web 1.0)
• In recent years “read – write” websites (web 2.0) have mushroomed – user generated content
