Future of Tertiary Education in Australia

I am speaking on "How CIOs are vital to the Future of Tertiary Education in Australia" day one of the "Tertiary Education IT Leaders" stream of EduTECH 2016 (also chairing day two). I would welcome comments, corrections and suggestions for the presentation:

How CIOs are vital to the Future of Tertiary Education in Australia

Education is Australia’s fourth largest export industry. However, higher education needs on-line to remain competitive. Meantime campuses are evolving into networked places to live and be entertained, with learning spaces more like an airport business lounge than a classroom.
  • Blended Learning: E-learning by stealth has taken over,
  • Wireless Campus: Lecture theaters replaced by wifi learning spaces,
  • Education as Entertainment: Students demand a full bandwidth experience,
  • Education as a business: Move on-line or go under. 
Draft slides for the talk are available. I would welcome comments, corrections and suggestions.

ps: The event is 30 to 31 May in Brisbane and there also streams on K-12, workplace and VET education and libraries. Registrations are open.
