Funded Activity Summary

Enhancing Distance Learning Programs: Using Information and Communication Technologies for Students in Rural Locations. The review of the Virtual Schooling Service in Queensland (2002) found that the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) follows a content transmission model from producer to user. The 'cultural factors' that promote mediation and negotiation of subject matter are absent. The research partners propose to identify how cultural factors involved in 'information age' education can be 'delivered' through ICT for rural secondary students. The research will capture the potential of ICT to provide isolated students access to a wider curriculum consistent with contemporary educational thinking, thereby reducing rural educational disadvantage and minimising the loss of human resources.
