The Education Network Australia is a national project to support and
link all Australian Educators. It covers all sectors, and provides a directory service of
web sites, forums and mailing lists. It is the search tool for Australian
Educators.
The Directory Service (Browse) is being developed around a set of
standards and protocols governing content, metadata and management. Sites. An extensive
search engine allows for searching of only approved EdNA sites, or only of sites
"harvested" by the search engine from approved sites, or of both. The site also
has extensive mailing lists, and is a primary source of information on on-line projects.
Frames makes this site a bit difficult to use. |
