We are committed to further internationalisation of our educational experiences in the next decade. A network of universities sharing a common philosophy, we are committed to serving students and Australian enterprises nationally and seamlessly. One development we are undertaking together is exploring ways of offering students twenty-four hour, seven days a week computer support services. Another is drawing on world-class course team practices in each university to help course teams orient curriculum, teaching and assessment to key graduate attributes demanded by industry and the community. Implementation of the Teaching and Learning Strategy involves turning weaknesses into strengths.
Information technology is now a major focus of the university for the next three years.
Indeed, a fundamental commitment to both students and staff is to provide a totally new order of support through IT investment in learning and working environments and tools. Advancing service provision to students and staff is explicitly targeted to world-class practice. Several initiatives illustrate this commitment. For students and staff we are developing integrated database and communication systems which will interface with students from enrolment to graduation and further into employment and the community. It will be in place for enrolments by the year 2000.
