> support or should the requirement for ICT skills be incorporated into
> institutional strategies? How can they learn ICT skills effectively?
> Should it be
> mandatory for staff and accredited in the curriculum for students? What
> level of skills are required and how should the acquisition of skills be
> resourced?
> These questions may seem like a minefield but ignore them at your peril,
