N...We won't get to great by being conventional. Not with the intensifying competition in the higher education space with some 140 providers, of which only 39 are universities.<br /><br />I believe we must commit to becoming world-class in distance education. In recent years, we have invested heavily in ‘bricks & mortar’. It’s time for investment in ‘clicks that support her’.<br /><br />And, in Queensland at least, should we position online teaching & learning as the core educational experience? Oncampus education will be for those with the time and desire for an oncampus experience or when it is essential, as in the case of residentials. <br /><br />A division responsible for Distance Education might be worth considering. And we need to upskill our staff in online learning pedagogy and delivery. That will take time.<br /><br />Overlaying this will be the strategic operationalisation of our power of place. We are, after all, located amidst an unprecedented resources boom in central Queensland. <br /><br />Are we doing enough to fully leverage our proximity to the mining and gas industries? Operationalising our power of place will be crucial to generating our competitive advantage and ensuring our sustainable future.Roger Marchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663897054539798148noreply@blogger.com
