Report on using The Le@rning Federation digital curriculum resources to enhance the education of Indigenous students
Published: May 2009
Research into the use of digital curriculum resources with Indigenous students found that The Le@rning Federation's resources improve learning outcomes and increase engagement and motivation of the students in a range of situations. The positive responses to the resources by participating teachers and their students indicate that there are significant benefits to using the resources.
Notably, the report found that students spend more time on task when using digital technologies. Significant gains were reported in student engagement across a range of priority learning areas, and particularly in Mathematics. There is sufficient information from the research to conclude that, just like their non-Indigenous peers, Indigenous students find The Le@rning Federation's digital content highly engaging.

Report on the museum and education digital content exchange pilot
Published: July 2009
This report outlines the findings of a joint project between The Le@rning Federation and the Council of Australasian Museum Directors (CAMD) from March 2008 to May 2009. The joint project was established to investigate efficiencies in selecting, quality assuring and distributing digital curriculum resources from museums to teachers and students in an online collaborative learning environment and to investigate appropriate teaching and learning strategies. It is anticipated the project will form the basis for more responsive processes and systems for acquiring quality digital curriculum resources from the collections sector (museums, art museums, libraries and archives) to support the implementation of the national curriculum and other school sector initiatives.
