Hello John, you might want to take a look at the University of the
Highlands and Islands Millenium Institute (known as UHIMI). They
recently completed an Adapt project in just this area covering 63 rural
learning centres and testing 2 VLEs.

Hi,
The National ICT Research Centre based in Shropshire is engaged on a
project to improve informal learning in rural areas using ICT
particularly
the Internet.
We're extremely keen to get a detailed picture of different rural
environments. How do some rural areas differ from others?
We're interested in hearing of any experiences of using VLEs in rural
areas. Does anyone have any experience anywhere of using a VLE in a
rural
area, one characterised by sparsity of population and resources and
low
bandwidth?
How well did it work? What happened? Were there problems due to low
bandwidth? Were there other problems related to access, infrastructure
or
support?
Any accounts or pointers would be extremely useful.
Thanks,
John Traxler
National ICT Research Centre
