Auslan Tutor

The RIDBC Auslan Tutor is a fantastic innovation for any family learning Auslan. Its ease of use, clarity and navigation structure combine perfectly with its portability and smart design. A great concept for people who need to learn and refresh their Auslan knowledge in their own time.
Congratulations to RIDBC!

When a first is second

The Auslan tutor is being promoted as a first. I remember using m.SignSwap.com.au on my old mobile back in 2006. It has a real search function, not just browsing through lists trying to find what they put the sign under.
Now of course it's become m.SignPlanet.net and has sections for older small screen mobiles and a larger one, suitable for iPhone AND Google Android AND Blackberry phones, something Auslan Tutor can't do.
Then there's the huge download, the Auslan tutor software won't even fit on a CD, and is over my monthly download limit. SignPlanet pages are light on the downloads, and being a website, is constantly being updated and expanded.
BEST OF ALL m.SignPlanet.net IS FREE!, though if you subscribe you can view your progress through the tutorials, activities and online tests.
WHY PAY FOR SECOND BEST?

m.SignPlanet.net

Hi Fred,

m.SignPlanet.net sounds like another good option for people who wish to learn Auslan. Thanks for your information.
