Monash Memo: Students connect campuses

Winners will be announced at the CoolCampus Monash Mobility Workshop on 24th October 2005. All competition participants are encouraged to participate at the Prize Giving Ceremony during the Workshop from 1:00-2:00pm at lecture theatre E7, Building 72, Monash University (Clayton Campus).

Monash University is a multi-campus university spreading five countries with its campuses and academic centres. Separated by vast distances we strive to be a connected university and weaved together by modern technologies. Monash University 's strategic direction for 2006 is to develop "a high quality campus experience designed to develop the whole individual, encourage all students to benefit from time spent at a second Monash campus" (Monash 2025). The advent of mobile technologies will change the way in which the university operates and renders innovative services to enhance the learning, teaching, research and operational environment. Modern computer and communication technologies will enable connectivity for university students and staff "anytime", "anywhere", with "any technology". Participants are encouraged to share their ideas on how mobile students and staff can be empowered with modern technologies in their day to day activities.

  • how students can take courses in other campuses without being there such as a Clayton student wanting to do a subject offered in South Africa

  • technology for the university of the future
  • and many more
