Abstract

This presentation will explore the rationale for, the strategies used, and the initial implementation successes and failures as minimum ICT competencies were determined at a regional Australian university for each year of the four year, double degree teacher training programs. Catering for the diverse ICT needs of nearly 2000 early childhood, elementary and high school teacher trainees necessitated changes in program structure, modification of existing courses, creation of new course components, changes in assessment requirements, establishment of additional infrastructure, and training of staff. Issues such as staff involvement in the decision making processes, determining entry ICT competencies of entry level students, providing for ICT skill development, assessing ICT milestones and future challenges, will be explored.
