Amteus plc has developed, and markets Web-based software applications for the provision of secure and private communications over the Internet for education. The Company's imJack enables teachers and parents to communicate with and guide children. It operates on a secure system by separating a defined user network from general Internet traffic and by using secure sockets layer encryption technology to maintain privacy and security for all users. Students can upload and download homework, share ideas and chat with their friends through messaging or video conferencing. imJack is centrally administered, so the school alone decides who can and cannot be part of the network. imJack automatically logs and creates a permanent record of communication between the parties on the system. imJack software is offered as a software package hosted on open source technology. imJack is offered free to schools, colleges and universities and aims to generate income from both sponsorship and digital news.
