More opportunities for Australian students
With every household and school in Australia receiving access to high-speed broadband, the NBN will extend the reach, availability and quality of education services, no matter where students live.
With faster and more reliable broadband, the NBN can enable more intensive and immersive online interactions for students through the increased use of applications such as high-definition video for interactive instruction and learning. Also, more students will have access to educational services such as YouTube University, iTunes U and the OpenCourseWare initiative, and videoconferencing opportunities with other educational institutions in Australia or overseas.
The Australian Government has several initiatives designed to prepare Australia’s education system for the future. It is already investing over $2.4 billion in the Digital Education Revolution (DER), providing access to a computer to all secondary school students in years 9-12, and will soon implement NBN-enabled tele-Education trials and other initiatives.
