Tassie incubator opens the education door to Asia
Monday, 18 February, 2002
The Minister for Communications, Information Technology and the Arts, Senator Richard Alston, has announced the latest information and communication technology company to receive assistance from the commonwealth government's $40 million Intelligent Island Program.
Multiversity Digital will provide a unique way of distributing educational course material to clients with relatively slow internet access so they can access multimedia content which would otherwise not be possible.
A digital hub to be installed in Tasmania will hold a range of educational content sourced from a variety of Australian educational institutions including the University of Tasmania. This material will be made available online to client education providers, mostly in South East Asia.
The Intelligent Island Program aims to further develop an internationally competitive ICT sector within Tasmania by funding a range of new projects and building on existing ICT industry, commonwealth and Tasmanian government initiatives and the research capacity of Tasmania's education sector.
