Scoilnet, the free online service aimed at pupils, teachers and parents, has been revamped to include more than 1,500 web pages, plus an examination centre.

The Department of Education-supported site is now the "ultimate, user-friendly educational resource", says the Minister, Dr Michael Woods. The content has been reclassified and reorganised to make it easier to find. It's now better targeted at the different age groups and there's a new search engine for the site. Ease of navigation has also been improved, with a significant reduction in the number of mouse clicks required to access content. The new exam centre includes previous exam papers, sample questions and answers, tips and guidelines and an exams discussion group. A team of 50 teachers has developed the curriculum content for the site.
