Tara Brabazon questions these assumptions. She shows that the delivery of quality online education requires as much input and thought as conventional course delivery, and, although offered at minimal cost to the institution, it is the teachers who pay, in their own time and effort to maintain standards. She also shows that there is more to teaching and learning than can be delivered online. She argues that knowledge is not the only thing a university should teach; rather, students should leave university with a love of acquiring knowledge and the ability to do so. This wide-ranging book examines the state of higher education in Australia and exposes the myths and assumptions on which current education policy is based.
