I've been recently appointed  by national Ministerial agency Education.au to explore  the equity implications and opportunities related to e-learning and digital education.

I haven’t been able to find a great deal of research into this nexus in Australia despite the recent large investments in both policy areas, and uncovering many local gems of work in this field across Australia.

One of our first projects is Notschool.net in partnership with school / VET jurisdictions and other parties regarding the feasibility of an Australian Notschool.net pilot program that has demonstrated remarkable success with young people disengaged from school in the UK and elsewhere.

Notschool.net uses a virtual learning environment, tailored curriculum and a strong community orientation to re-engage young people in learning.

We would love to hear from researchers who are working in similar field or interested in following this work. See www.educationau.edu.au/inclusion for details.
