Case study of development work underway at the University of Southern Queensland toward a full integration of computer mediated learning on a university wide basis. There is a lot to be learned from this paper (though I wish it were better structured). The models of first through fifth generation learning provide effective touchstones for progress. Also permeating the paper is a forward looking view encapsulated in the section titled "e-Learning: From Cottage Industry to Mass Global Access." Here, the authors recognize the constraints traditional university structures have been placing on online learning and map a route to an institutional - and not merely academic - focus on new technologies.CRLF
