The e-Communities study was commissioned by HIE and in partnership with Skye & Lochalsh Council for Voluntary Organisations (SLCVO) to establish the attitudes and levels of engagement in ICT among community groups in the pilot area of Skye & Raasay.  The study includes information on skills and confidence levels, areas of activity and inactivity, and attitudes towards ICT as a tool for further development of the community sector in the Highlands and Islands.  You can download the study report at the top right of this page.

The study led to the organisation of an event to showcase good practice and to introduce community groups to a range of free and affordable tools and resources accessible via the worldwide web.
