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. In addition, the
school in collaboration with offshore partners in Singapore and Hong Kong
delivers courses by partner supported off-campus learning. 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.
