This report a studies of policies for information and communication technologies (ICT) in education and training in Australian education systems and agencies. This page links to an executive summary, from which a PDF version of the full report may be accessed. The report notes that "Achieving the full potential of ICT in education and in society, so as to transform the way people learn in the digital era, is likely to require policies that stimulate cultural change in education institutions, and in the communities they serve, in building a culture that supports enterprise, learning, innovation, and creativity." The key issue, notes the document, is "whether a more comprehensive and systemic approach is required." I understand the motivation, but caution is in order. Innovation requires diversity, and diversity is difficult to obtain in a centrally coordinated system (though the document is dated from May of last year, this is the first I've seen of it. Via the Australian Flexible Learning Framework).
