Addressing ICT curriculum recommendations from surveys of academics, workplace graduates and employers

This project is based on selected recommendations of the information and communications technology (ICT) scoping study undertaken by Koppi and Naghdy in 2009, in particular: improving community perceptions of the ICT profession (recommendation two); understanding students better in relation to attrition, women in ICT and gender inclusive pedagogy (recommendation four); further investigations of work integrated learning (recommendation six); and improving the understanding between the teaching-research-industry-learning nexus (recommendation eight). The project team formulated these recommendations into five key project areas: perceptions; attrition; gender; teaching-research-industry-learning nexus; and work integrated learning. This report summarises the main findings from each project area and then presents conclusions and recommendations pertinent across the five areas.
