The overall vision for ICT at Queensland Academy for Creative Industries is to allow higher learning to occur by making ICT an integral part of learning underpinned by creativity, innovation and enterprise.
ICT will enable:
- Students to take control of their learning through flexible, collaborative, self-paced 24/7 learning using technology as a tool for complex thinking processes and meaningful learning
- Staff to make connections with ICT professional development opportunities in order to maximise professional capability to further engage students in critical thinking and improve academic performance in all faculty areas
- The teaching and learning process to be enhanced through a one-to-one laptop program which will take advantage of current and new technologies.
To enable this to occur, ICTs at the Academy will have the following strategic and operational processes in place:
- Alignment with EQ’s vision for Smart Classrooms
- Multi-level/Multi-faceted approach to developing professionals’ capability in ensuring ICT is integral to learning
- Strategic alliances and partnerships with industry, educational organisations, communities and key individuals
- Secure online presence to facilitate access to learning management systems and digital portfolios
- ICT Infrastructure, support processes and policies to ensure efficient operation of the facilities.
