University education researcher Dr Phil Roberts, who explained that the website will try to collect the lessons of teacher education and the experiences of learning in the ACT.
Dr Roberts commented “We want people to tell us their stories,” Dr Roberts said. “The intent is to learn from the past rather than just record it – an approach we are referring to as the ‘history for education’.” Dr Roberts added “Along with the call for community submissions we will also be interviewing important figures from the period to create an oral history.”
