Hm. This article suggests that educational institutions will be able to address a lot of their technology costs by shifting from computer-based learning to browser-based learning. "A simple move to a new model - network/appliance, or browser-based computing - will solve many of these problems and deliver, well, education on steroids: personalised, customised, optimised and lifelong learning for every student and adult learner. Or as Sun Microsystems vice-president of global education and research Kim Jones says: "Anywhere, anytime, any place and on anything. The beauty of network computing is that the actual computer can be managed centrally somewhere by a service provider. In the classroom, both teacher and students access information via browser-type devices, or appliances, which are just windows to content.'"
