Abstract
Throughout the world, universities are in the process of mixing
‘virtual’ and ‘traditional’ forms of course delivery in order to facilitate their move toward total ‘virtual’ learning environments. In the
context of Australia, which provides the focus of this article, the
move to online education is presented as inevitable in the face of
increasing technological advances in information-communication
technologies (ICTs) and the forces of globalization.
