ABOUT THIS RESEARCH

In 2015, Samsung funded a six-month research project on the Isle of Portland in Weymouth, exploring the

impact of technology on participants’ engagement with community services, schools and family learning.

We partnered with the Centre for Excellence in Media Practice (CEMP) at Bournemouth University.

The project has given us a rich set of findings on which to build further work, and we hope this summary will be

of help to schools, community organisations, policy makers, employers and even parents – anybody

who shares our interest in enabling communities to benefit from the power of digital technology.
