Abstract: The key to successful harnessing of the power and potential of new educational technologies lies in appropriate training of teachers. An educational technology joint venture was created at the Northern Territory University in Darwin (Australia) in which the Institute of Technical and Further Education provided the equipment, the Computing Services section provided the technical support, and the Faculty of Education trained the trainers. This joint venture has provided a vertical integration of expertise in preservice and inservice training for teachers and lecturers. It helps trainers acquire a "mindshift in attitudes" to use information technology to facilitate an exciting and lasting journey of discovery for their students. Students and lecturers are given a "tool set" of skills and techniques, beginning with word processing and idea processing, followed by up to three core units in information technology. Effective use of new technologies is enhanced by use of interactive tutorial packages that allow users to perform real exercises involving all of the major sections in the application. For the future, the university is looking at Electronic Performance Support Systems which integrate hardware, software, and end-user interfaces and provide on-the-job assistance and training. (JDD)
