The Gippsland School of Computing and Information Technology serves both the
Gippsland region of the state of Victoria and, through the use of off-campus
distributed learning 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 off-campus study, and it also offers a number of units through
Open Learning Australia. In addition, the school delivers courses and units by
offshore distributed learning 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.
