Streap has been developed as an on-line programme by Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, in collaboration with the University of Aberdeen and Cànan. Funding for the development has been provided by Scottish Executive. Streap is an adaptation of an earlier face-to-face course, written by Christina Walker from the School of Education at the University Of Aberdeen and Duncan MacQuarrie , HMIe.

Course development and project management has been led by Alison Dix, Head of Lifelong Learning at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, with the support of members of the administrative team.

Some of these teachers will provide mentoring support for course participants.
