Education

Telstra is recognised by education leaders throughout Australia as providing innovative solutions to all sectors of education: preschool, K-12, TAFE and university. While the internet has revolutionised education in Australia, the full potential for its use by administrators, teachers, students and their families is only now starting to be realised. Technology has seen improvements in delivery of education and equality of access to learning tools, but the expectations of Government, employers, parents, teachers,  the community and students (especially Generation Y) is for greater use of integrated telecommunication tools, not only for learning but also to socially connect. Telstra is able to provide a suite of cost-effective solutions for education. These include:

• The capacity for an integrated environment where systems and applications talk with each other
• Visual and voice access to other individuals and to content through an educational mobile device
• Centralised data and information tracking environments for use within and between institutions which will support the introduction of a national curriculum while maintaining an institution’s independence.
• Education conferencing using Telstra’s Next G™ and IP™ networks which provides fast and reliable communications in many places across Australia
• Stimulating and safe learning environments through a Private IP network which can restrict internet access
• Multimedia messaging platforms using SMS, MMS, email, fax, and video deposit messaging solutions that can assist in teacher rostering, parent contact, and emergency alerts
• An interactive mobile broadcast streaming capability (MView) where external lectures can be streamed into classrooms, nationally and internationally, and images are able to be captured and stored

E-learning can be more effective in engaging students, provide more equitable access to education, and provide more cost effective delivery through shared development and delivery.
