• Improve access to education

• Improve quality of education; student-centred, individualise learning

• Share resources among teachers and connect schools; make

curriculum resources available online for students and teachers

• Improve administrative processes (e.g. enrollment, data driven

decisions)

• Develop interactive classroom applications and utilise multimedia

technology

• Manage costs

• e-Learning expanding into Primary/Secondary Education

• Increasing focus on teacher knowledge of IT usage and skills

• Meeting student digital lifestyle expectations - mobility (1:1),

podcasting, online access.

Scale Quality Education Outcomes

Individualised learning once produced fine craftsmen. The

master taught the apprentice. Only a few had the time or

opportunity to gain the depth of knowledge needed to

achieve excellence, and excellence was rare. Then

industrial-age minds saw scale economies in teaching many

people at once. Learning became institutionalised, and the

individual either adapted to the teacher and the standard

material being taught or missed out. Now...learning can

again become individualised, and again produce

excellence.
