Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Examines distance teaching in Australian higher education, with particular reference to predictions made in the recent West Report ("Learning for Life"), arguing that discussion of technology and change in the universities must be framed in the context of the wider educational system, considering especially the government's construction of educational markets. Market mechanisms, policy formation, and equity issues are explored.
