Abstract

The Australian government recently commissioned an investigation of innovation and best practice in ICT education. University educators were invited to submit examples of innovation and best practice in their teaching, via a website and also a number of workshops. From the resulting submissions, many related to web-based teaching, a number of examples of innovation and best practice were chosen to be included in the report. The inclusion process raised issues about the nature of innovation, particularly when viewed from a national perspective. This paper discusses that process and considers its wider implications for evaluating innovation and best practice in education.
