===== Timeline of Action =====
  - Audit curriculum for current level of elearning tools and learning technologies used at High, Medium or Low level
  - Audit software and hardware available in the school by each Learning Area and VELS level also at High, Medium or Low level
  - Audit staff ICT proficiency in each available software and hardware item again at High, Medium and Low level
  - Survey, investigate, research elearning tools through virtual communities, subject associations, search engines and other
  - Outline action plan for acquisition, installation/updates to software, hardware 
  - Establish pedagogical framework for use of elearning tools to enhance learning through a range of uses depending on context such as
           * data collection/capture
           * data validation
           * individual and collaborative data visualisation and mind mapping software use
           * what if analysis
           * data manipulation
           * data filtration
           * use of constructionist model of learning by building and evaluating a solution/product with elearning tools. 
           * Collaborating online with use of wikis, blogging, emailing, filesharing, video conferencing and virtual communities
           * Digital storytelling and e-portfolios 
           * Use of online resources such as search engines, mailing lists, newsgroups, video tutorials
  - Establish a project management plan with appropriate tools eg. Gantt, Pert charts, critical path, milestones for implementation of elearning plan
  - Develop criteria for evaluation
  - Use feedback mechanisms at both staff and student, personalised and anonymous levels to inform planning for improvement
