Digital Planet goes back to school: from giving out free computers to school children to distance learning; from blackboards to intelligent white boards, technology in 21st century education.
Gareth talks to Vice Chancellor Martin Bean of the UK鈥檚 Open University, the country鈥檚 largest university with over 168,000 students, about distance learning. Shihan Zuberi reports on 大象传媒 Janala, a project set up by the 大象传媒 World Service Trust to teach languages via mobile phones. We catch up with the latest on the One Laptop per Child (or OLPC) scheme in Brazil and revisit the Ernani Silva Bruni School in an under-privileged neighbourhood in north west Sao Paulo. And the 大象传媒鈥檚 Colin Grant meets educators from around the world, invited to see the New Line Academy in Kent 鈥� a school where touch screen interaction, face recognition, mood lighting and various other high tech trappings imagine the future of education.
