This report consists of the results of a series of action research projects with remote communities conducted by Charles Darwin University to determine how ICT and innovative learning technologies could help improve literacy and numeracy outcomes for Indigenous students who are educationally disadvantaged.

The document focuses on teachers, community members and students in remote and very remote locations and highlights the work of previous researchers to obtain best practice in developing empowered learning environments as it relates to ICT approaches that are used to engage Indigenous in the teaching and learning process. The document also presents key factors to be considered for using ICT to engage remote Indigenous students in school-based learning.
