The Gippsland School of Computing and Information Technology serves both the
Gippsland region of the state of Victoria and, through the use of distance
education and innovative teaching technologies, the wider national and
international community.
The school makes extensive use of off-campus teaching modes. All its courses
are available by distance education, and it also offers a number of subjects
through Open Learning Australia. In addition, the school delivers courses and
subjects by distance education offshore in Southeast Asia. A number of staff
have particular interests in the use of information technology to support
teaching and learning, with a focus on techniques appropriate to the distance
learning modes.
