The Learning FederationFrom ICT Register WikiThe Learning Federation5 clusters of schools on the ICT Register – primary schools, secondary schools, and secondary schools working with their feeder primaries – have begun to collaborate with schools in Australia to research the impact high-quality interactive learning resources can have on learning. The resources, developed by The Learning Federation of Australia, is being used to address difficult to teach concepts, to raise standards of low-achieving students, and to encourage independent learning.
