The broadcaster will create the mini-lessons, run by teachers, for the ABC Education portal and on ABC Me, which will be partially financed by the NSW and Victorian education departments.

The ABC will also offer 4000 free videos, interactive resources and games mapped to the Australian curriculum through its education portal."Working in partnership with the states and territories, ABC Education will also create original teacher-led mini-lessons, which will be broadcast on the ABC Education portal and ABC ME, to support students learning at home," the broadcaster said in a statement.

Studies in the United States have shown that students who had access to the show Sesame Street performed better in elementary school than those who did not. The idea was first mooted in early March, as a way to overcome the technology gap in homes across the country. The lessons will be modelled on celebrity maths teacher Eddie Woo's WooTube videos. Some of them will provide direct teaching, others will be used as a stimulus for class discussion and projects.

Tom Alegounarias, the former chair of the NSW Education Standards Authority and a long-time education policy specialist, said using television as a medium to reach disadvantaged students would be an "enormous and valuable input, and could become a breakthrough as a help."
