Where did the idea for the Illinois Century Network come from?
The Higher Education Technology Task Force, leaders from higher education, state agencies, and public schools, recommended creation of the Network to serve the needs of Illinoisans for education, training, and information technologies. The Illinois State Board of Education was building a network for K-12 schools prior to the creation of the Illinois Century Network and in fact, the Illinois Century Network builds upon those efforts previously referred to as the LincOn Network.
