Curriculum PD Online Trial (2003)
The aim of this project was the development of an online professional
learning package for teachers focussing on the use of the Internet
to develop curriculum outcomes for students. It builds upon the
initial work that was developed in the successful Internet in
the Curriculum Program and is being extended to include current
thinking and practices embedded within the Curriculum Improvement
Program.
ASP Infrastructure Trial (2001-2002)
The Application Service Provider (ASP) Infrastructure
Trial was conducted in twelve primary schools in the Fremantle Education
District by the Department of Education and Training (DET).
The Trial was an integrated and collaborative approach to the deployment
of information and communication technologies embedded within professional
learning and curriculum contexts. A key outcome of the ASP Infrastructure
Trial was to inform the Department’s technology decisions
under the e2c (Education to the Community) Programme.
The ASP Trial has provided invaluable lessons in providing enhanced
ICT infrastructure in schools. Findings of the project have formed
the basis for a number of existing projects, including the 100 Schools
Project.
