This project is based on selected recommendations of the information and communications technology (ICT) scoping study undertaken by Koppi and Naghdy in 2009, in particular: improving community perceptions of the ICT profession (recommendation two); understanding students better in relation to attrition, women in ICT and gender inclusive pedagogy (recommendation four); further investigations of work integrated learning (recommendation six); and improving the understanding between the teaching-research-industry-learning nexus (recommendation eight). The project team formulated these recommendations into five key project areas: perceptions; attrition; gender; teaching-research-industry-learning nexus; and work integrated learning. This report summarises the main findings from each project area and then presents conclusions and recommendations pertinent across the five areas.
