 * Educational Vision** – The underpinning philosophies of education (such as one-child-at-a-time policy). Is there alignment between vision and provision?
 * Inclusion** – How do we ensure fair e-learning for all, particularly in regional areas?
 * Supporting Technology** – Considering the provision of or access to networking, bandwidth, learning platforms and applications. How can we provide end-to-end performance?
 * Pedagogy** – What are the affordances of new learning technologies? How do technologies provide the functionality to enable desired learning, teaching and assessment approaches?
 * Professional Learning** – How do we bring about cultural change?
 * Student Pathways** – How might technology support or hinder movement between institutions? What is the portability of student work?
 * Policy** – Who are making ICT and e-learning decisions and what is informing the decision-making?
 * Holistic Perspective** – An intergated view of the whole with tensions and emergent possibilities. ||
