ICT BEST PRACTICES IN REMOTE ABORIGINAL COMMUNITIES

N-CAP is proud to announce our Office of Learning and Essential Skills (“OLES”) project entitled “ICT Best Practices in Remote Aboriginal Communities”. As per the attached backgrounder, this project will be rolled out in two stages – the first will be pan-territorial the second will be nation-wide.

What we need: Best practices in delivery of adult Information and Communications Technologies (“ICT”) learning strategies in non-formal (non-classroom) settings that are replicable by other CAP sites.

How can this be done? The imagination is the only limitation! Learning has occurred in such situations as:
- Traditional place naming projects
- Filming of cultural events on the land
- Interactive web site development
- Aboriginal language projects
- Many, many more

Here is your chance to showcase your project!

Simply follow the template found on the website at http://bit.ly/OLES2011 to tell us about your project and, remember, pictures speak a thousand words.

PRIZES, PRIZES, PRIZES!
