Digital Learning and Print Literacy: A design experiment for the reform of low socio-economic, culturally diverse schools

Overview

Project status: In progress

The Federal Government has declared the Education Revolution as a key national priority for reform. It has called for a policy focus on the introduction of digital technologies into the school lives of students and a renewed focus on equity in traditional print literacy. This project will provide a new evidence base and training site for teacher and student development in print literacy and technology with a focus on low socio-economic school development.
