Nineteen Ninety Nine [1999 ] | ||||
|
Convergence and all that jazz... 1999 is being hailed the 'year of convergence'. In education circles here in Australia, specifically Victoria. It is the year that connectivity via the "VicOne" network is being provided for every Victorian School and Government department. It is the year that teachers will be given unprecedented access to laptop computers in an effort to provide them with routine access to online 'learning tools'. The barriers of cost, connectivity and bandwidth, will, at least for a little while, take a back seat in the attempts by individuals and communities wishing to join what has now become a main stream revolution. A challenge for cross sectoral collaboration to provide user communities with a rich and diverse content choice. The challenge will clearly be the ability to find and use worthwhile, authoratitive content. The challenge in 1999 and beyond will be not so much to get online, but finding reasons to stay online. Bill Coppinger January 1999
