[LINK] New Australian Education Minister Needs to Put Online at Core of Strategy

[Tom Worthington]

I was asked to comment by Times Higher Education on what might be Alan 
Tudge, the new Australian education minister's approach.

In 2013 he chaired a committee investigating online learning 
particularly for International students. This did not appear to receive 
support from his colleagues, or the Australian higher education sector 
at the time. However, as I commented in THE article, the need to teach 
students during COIVD-19 has shown the value of on-line learning. The 
problem for the new Minister is now to recast the national strategy for 
higher education with online learning at its core.
