1.1.2 Improved access to existing resources

When broadband service replaces a slower Internet connection, such as dial-up service, students and educators gain improved access to existing resources and materials that previously may have been too time-intensive to download -- or were simply unavailable without the bandwidth provided by broadband connectivity.

Broadband connectivity also provides new opportunities and additional value to coursework designed to train people to use ICTs.  This transforms isolated personal computers (PCs) or computer labs into tools for accessing information from around the world.

Despite significant differences in levels of development and educational programs around the world, broadband-enabled educational tools can be incorporated into curricula across all socioeconomic levels.  Specific areas of focus can be customized to suit the needs of each community.
