• Resumen

  • In this paper we present information on the Remote Area Teacher Education Programme (RATEP) project undertaken in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Communities in Far North Queensland, Australia.

    The possibilities for information technology in the delivery of an on‐site teacher‐education programme in remote communities are described. We argue that the RATEP project demonstrates the potential of IT as an instrument for teaching and learning. To develop our argument we focus on three issues: interactive learning systems, pedagogy and the features of IT and RATEP pedagogy. We conclude that students have quickly become ‘technologically literate’ and have appeared to benefit from the opportunities to exercise some autonomy over sequence, rate and mode of access to information.
