In my view, Australia has only a few years to re-equip its higher 
education sector with new technology and skills. Otherwise the 
international student market will be lost to providers offering a 
combination of high quality e-learning and low cost satellite campuses.

Teaching international students is not easy. Jude Carroll, of Oxford 
Brookes University UK, is currently visiting Australia talking about how

She talked in Canberra on Wednesday and is in Brisbane 16 November 2011:

I signed up to learn about new assessment methods at University of 
Southern Queensland, followed by a course about e-learning (both via 
e-learning), starting on Monday:
