A world first education solution to transform the way education is delivered at all Victorian public schools.


Project Overview

CSG is currently engaged to deliver Ultranet - an online portal to be implemented at all Victorian government schools for Kindergarten to year 12 students. Ultranet is an intuitive student centred electronic learning environment and the first in the world to provide such a high level of functionality to students, teachers, parents and administrators. CSG is contracted to provide:

the initial design, build and deployment; and
ongoing support including application hosting, disaster recovery and help desk services
Our Solution
Ultranet is an intuitive student centred electronic learning environment that:

supports high quality learning & teaching;
connects students, teachers and parents;
enables efficient knowledge transfer and creation;
underpins knowledge management processes and strengthens education planning at all levels; and
stores information about a students progress from year to year from school to school
Its high level of functionality includes:


all school -level student administration (attendance, reporting, assessment etc);
online learning and content management;
email wikis, blogs and social networking; and
a customised interface for each year of school
The solution is based on Oracle technology and is truly world class. It is an innovative and robust eduction platform, which
underpins all of the interactions between people. The platform enables different functional modules to work together, providing a range of services that are delivered seamlessly by a single solution. The platform allows the entire enterprise to adapt and grow as needs change and as new practices, pedagogies and technologies emerge.

With the enterprise platform schools are not bound to, or limited by specific applications. This means that legacy systems can co-exist with new applications making transition from sticky applications far easier. Drawing heavily upon international research the solution is centred on individual learners to foster:

purposeful teaching with active involvement from the learner;
accountability and high expectations of learners with a belief that all students can learn;
shared vision and professional leadership;
improved relationships between learners and educators; and
collegiate learning communities, spanning school boundaries lead by students
