ePotential 2007-2008

• A number of online resource banks provided by
  DEECD do not have a high uptake by teachers, such
  as Connect/The Victorian Education Channel, EdNA
  Online and Knowledge Bank.
• Schools need support so they can optimize the
  DEECD investment in resources, such as
  Interactive White Boards and online conference
  facilities.
• The use of learning and content management
  systems is low, less than 20. More familiarity
  with these systems will be required for
  successful implementation of the Ultranet.
• There could be more done with regard to
  collaboration with others to further promote the
  use of ICT resources.
