NBN to let students tap ABC archive

It will be launched in the second half of 2012

A $20 million education portal will give Australian students access to a store of interactive learning aids via the National Broadband Network (NBN).

Teachers and students will be able to tap into the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's database of contemporary and archival content, transferred to digital form and linked to the national curriculum.

Communications minister, Stephen Conroy, said on Thursday the portal would provide resources for free online tutorials and interactive learning activities using games, video, reading materials and quizzes.

It will be launched in the second half of 2012.
