ACCE undertook the Learning Technologies Competencies Project because members of state computer education groups (CEGs) were concerned that some systems were developing patchy statements of teacher competence. It was their opinion that there was considerable difference in states' implementation conditions and that many significant issues had been omitted. It also appeared as if there was no collaboration between states. Indeed the first time the principle writers of three states had met to talk about their competencies initiatives, was at the ACEC 98 conference. ACCE is in a strategic position to provide all systems and stakeholders with advice and further, is in a position to help members of CEGs assess and critique states learning technology competency projects as they emerge and develop. It is ACCE's intention to promote the ACCE competencies papers widely and to provide copies to every member of every CEG.
 
There are two papers in this collection.

A Background Paper  supporting ACCE's positions on issues  surrounding teachers learning technology competence

An ACCE Discussion paper which outlines ACCE's positions about teachers' learning technology competence initiatives in Australia.
