Ultranet – what is it and why is is important?

Our statewide improvement agenda for public education in Victoria includes using an online learning environment called the Ultranet which amongst other objectives gives students their own online workspaces with all the relevant web 2.0 tools. These online workspaces eventually will have personally tailored education programs and direct feedback from teachers.

Scotland already has an online learning environments for students called Glow . I have looked at the Glow site for primary students and in particular how to use groups section.

From my perspective a key driver of this innovation is the teacher. Convincing teachers of the value in spending time setting up and using these tools each day with students may take some time. Watching the video above may help in that process.
