The Victorian Government has just completed an inquiry into the Effects of Television and Multimedia on Education in Victoria. The report by the Education and Training Committe expores the effects of current applications and usage levels of multimedia by young people on learning styles and educational achievement within different age groups and curriculum areas. It considers the recent changes with students' media literacy needs in the context of rapidly increasing availability and use of multimedia by young people.
The report is rather large but you can see the contribution of my group with a careful search for ASISTM (Tony was kind enough to list these as pp66-69 121 152). I am pleased to read that consideration was given to our collective thoughts about the problems created by Internet filtering and the potential for the new educational and publishing tools. I notice some contributions too from the ICTEV and VITTA.
