| OVERVIEW WA's economy may be booming due to our resources sector - but we're
more than just resources! We're intelligent, we're innovative, we're
creative - and with shrinking geographical borders we're
well-established in the information economy and global marketplace. We
have world-class expertise in a lot of areas and ICT is one of them.ICT is one of the solutions to providing education in a state as large as Western Australia. We have the need and can lead in this area, as shown by Moodle, a Perth-based software company.
Technology can transform education and increasingly classroom
teaching includes ICT to improve student learning. ICT is also being
widely used in online learning environments in most academic
disciplines, including medicine. So it's important that we have ICT technology to improve learning outcomes - and to prepare young people for
the information economy of the 21st century.
