Research undertaken by Charles Darwin University has found that ICT and innovative learning technologies could help improve literacy and numeracy outcomes for Indigenous students who are educationally disadvantaged.
The research involved eight case studies in remote area schools including:
- Gawa, Mapuru and Djurranalpi, in the Arnhem Region;
- Tasmania’s Cape Barren Island and Flinders’ Island; and
- Beagle Bay, One Arm Point and Djarindjin in Western Australia’s West Kimberley region.

The research helped to develop new resources for teachers in remote regions to engage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students with their learning through Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).
