It then reports a survey of how students' ICT capability is being developed in 22 higher education courses in 15 higher education institutions, covering all the major subject areas. Four different ideal types of curriculum are proposed, to explain the variety of provision. Only one of them seems likely to fully achieve the task set by Dearing of preparing students
