Learning
the Unlikely at Distance Delivered as an Information Technology Enterprise
From July, 1994 to April, 1995, the Department of Employment, Education and
Training (DEET) in Australia funded a professional development project run by
the Australian Association of Mathematics Teachers, Inc. (AAMT) to explore the
provision of statistics education for teachers separated by the great distances
in Australia. It was titled 'Learning the Unlikely at Distance Delivered as an
Information Technology Enterprise', known as LUDDITE. The project developed
multimedia professional development packages over three stages.

collaboration with The Mercury Newspaper, as an outcome of the DEETYA-funded
project entitled 'Learning the Unlikely at Distance Delivered as an Information
Technology Enterprise' (LUDDITE).
