Learning Without Boundaries: A University for the 21st Century

Overview The widening participation agenda will increase diversity among the student population, with more students coming into universities without formal qualifications. Increasingly, they will have substantial part time jobs in order to fund their education. The issue of retention will consequently be significant, and technology-based solutions will be required to deliver learning and support wherever students are, whenever they want it. Every student receives on enrolment a personal fourth generation handheld device, including PDA and phone functionality, the costs of which are covered in part by tuition fees and in part by sponsorship. When a student arrives at the campus, the student's identity is beamed to the desktop from the handheld.
