چکیده
As part of a study of educational innovation in information and communication technology (ICT) disciplines, 83 academics from relevant departments across Australia participated in mini-conferences where they identified and discussed the factors driving and inhibiting educational initiatives.

Issues discussed include the direction in which academics perceive the “push” is pushing and academics’ concerns about motivations behind the “push”, changing work practices and implications for workload.
