In October 1990, a group from Australian Catholic University received a grant from the Department of Employment, Education and Training (DEET) under the Structural Efficiency Principle for staff development. The aim of the project was to summarise and describe the use of technology for the provision and delivery of education to remote students. Typically these students are located in isolated rural areas. The intention was to produce an information kit for pre-service primary and secondary teachers, particularly those we see in the Bachelor of Teaching and Bachelor of Education programs offered at Signadou campus. While it is important to provide appropriate information and professional development for p.actising teachers, pre-service teachers must not be neglected in this process. It will be these teachers who will be helping set the agenda for the nature and type of developments that will take place with technology. As a result of the project a booklet and a short video were produced showing teachers and students using a variety of technologies for remote schooling.
