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 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 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.
Further information may be found on the Gippsland School of Computing and
Information Technology website at http://www.gscit.monash.edu.au/.
Research interests of staff in the school include databases, data
communications, image processing, multimedia information systems, multimedia
communication, multiple-valued logic, artificial intelligence, operations
management, operations research and optimisation techniques.
