Digital Disrupting for a Better World

Greetings from the ACS Digital Disruptor Awards in Sydney, where  Victor Dominello, NSW Minister for Innovation and Better Regulation is speaking on sharing data. He has just handed me a Gold Disruptor 2015 award in the ICT Higher Educator category for my ICT Sustainability Course.

IT Vendor Certification and Vocational Qualification Bundles

The most innovative thing I have seen at the Reimagination Summit (Star Casino in Sydney) today is IT Vendor Certification and Vocational Qualification Bundles from Northern Sydney Institute of NSW TAFE. This was on a brochure in the conference pack, saying NSW residents can get Microsoft and  Cisco certification, along with vocational training units at low cost. This was while I was listing to a panel session on STEM, which seems appropriate. The idea of bundling industry certifications with educational qualification is a good one and along with maths bridging courses can allow people who ,missed out on university education into STEM careers
