Broadband and the future of education

The latest issue of the Telecommunications Journal of Australia  (Vol 62, No 5 2012) features education. The guest editorial, Learning fast: Broadband and the future of education, by Kate Cornick and Jock Given is freely available, but other articles require a subscription, or ACS membership.

As well as the content, the format of TJA is also worth studying. The Canadian developed free open source Open Journal Systems software is used, with papers published as HTML for on screen reading, as well as PDF for printing.
