The Digital Education Revolution (DER) aims to contribute sustainable and meaningful change to teaching and learning in Australian schools that will prepare students for further education, training and to live and work in a digital world.
AICTEC has contributed to the development of two strategic documents which guide the DER. The DER Strategic Plan, "Success through Partnership" was developed by the Schooling Sub-group of the Council of Australian Government's (COAG's) Productivity Agenda Working Group. The Plan outlines a vision for Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) enabled learning in Australian Schools. AICTEC's Advice on a DER Implementation Roadmap, submitted to the Schooling Sub-group, applies that vision to describe principles, dependencies and outcomes for the DER. Together these documents provide the broader context within which the various Australian, state and territory government DER-related initiatives are being implemented.
The documents will assist educational institutions, their communities and the ICT industry to understand specific elements and jurisdictional initiatives within the broader DER context.
