TNO (E-coach, Leerplaza)
TNO is a knowledge organisation for companies, government bodies and public organisations. The daily work of some 5,000 employees is to develop and apply knowledge. TNO provides contract research and specialist consultancy and grants licences for patents and specialist software. They test and certify products and services, and issue an independent evaluation of quality.
The development and application of innovative knowledge: that’s what TNO is all about. In all this innovation is crucial. For businesses and for governments. For economic development throughout the world. TNO makes innovation possible by translating scientific knowledge into practice. It is TNO’s goal to develop new applications that contribute to the welfare and prosperity of the Netherlands and further afield.
TNO and School for the Future have combined forces in the E-coach project. This special project aims at mapping out the possibilities of intelligent electronic coaching. E-coach is responsible for the routine aspects of the coaching of students. Moreover E-coach collects information for the ‘live’ coach, thus allowing him to do his work more efficiently and more intensively. E-coach was presented during a symposium at School for the Future in November 2003.

Threeships (N@Tschool)
Threeships Enterprises aims at developing infrastructures and applications on the basis of internet technology. Threeships N@Tschool is a comprehensive e-learning solution for institutions, organizations and companies alike. The application allows you to offer entire programs or training schemes on line, from the actual course contents and tests to multi-dimensional competency overviews. All in one.
The latest version of the product, Threeships N@Tschool! 8.0, offers users even more possibilities to facilitate e-learning.

IntraQuest (J4 Toolkit)
IntraQuest develops software tools for electronic learning. The software developed with these tools is tailor-made and is characterized by actual interactivity, easy accessibility and relatively low investments.
School for the Future developed the J4-model. On the basis of this model and in co-operation with Intraquest the J4 Toolkit was developed. Information needed to acquire professional competences is put together in the smallest possible, yet coherent units, the learning objects. By means of these learning objects it is possible to create an individual learning route for the learner. It is easy to exchange the J4 learning objects by applying the J4-model.

Microsoft
For some years now Microsoft has been a partner of School for the Future. In Center for Teaching and Learning at School for the Future Microsoft installed Sharepoint 2003 and Class Server 3.0, a demo with special products for educational purposes. Microsoft 2003 platform may well meet many of the wishes and requirements of schools with respect to sharing knowledge and co-operating. In this process School for the Future is a pilot environment.
