Draft slides for the talk are available. I would welcome comments, corrections and suggestions.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.
I am chairing day two of the "Tertiary Education IT Leaders" stream at EduTECH 2016 and speaking on "How CIOs are vital to the Future of Tertiary Education in Australia". The event is 30 to 31 May in Brisbane and there aloe also streams on K-12, workplace and VET education and libraries. Registrations are open.
