• A number of online resource banks provided by DEECD do not have a high uptake by teachers, such as Connect/The Victorian Education Channel, EdNA Online and Knowledge Bank.
• Schools need support so they can optimize the DEECD investment in resources, such as Interactive White Boards and online conference facilities.
• The use of learning and content management systems is low, less than 20%. More familiarity with these systems will be required for successful implementation of the Ultranet.
• There could be more done with regard to collaboration with others to further promote the use of ICT resources.
