• The Excellence Group recommends that there should
continue to be a Scottish schools digital learning
environment. The new service should be as open as
possible, with only personal and procured content and
services behind an authentication barrier.
• Ensure that system analytics are openly accessible and
easy to use for all users and the interested public.
