Engaging students with ICT choices at Edith Cowan University

Abstract

This poster outlines development over the last 5 years, of a range of ICT choices at ECU being utilised to engage and meet the requirements of today's students, over fifty percent of which now classify as Net Generation students. These students arrive at university with expectations of a choice of technologies, flexibility in accessing resources, and 24/7 availability. The challenges of migrating primarily print-based external studies offerings to ECU’s LMS Blackboard are also described together with the range of technologies and Web 2.0 utilities now in use at ECU.
