About DERN

Alliances

DERN establishes collaborative relationships with other national and international organisations whose focus is the use of digital technologies in education. Through our alliances we are able to provide access to additional research resources.

CoSN (the Consortium for School Networking) is the premier professional association for district technology leaders.
