Abstract

Technology affects education through teaching, research, desktop publishing, rapid communication, management decision‐making and administration, to mention but a few impacts. In this paper the author discusses the ways in which the Computing Policy Committee at the University of Tasmania has sought to introduce technological change in a rapid and controlled manner over the last five years. The paper also discusses future developments in information technology and its likely impact on tertiary institutions in the coming decade.
