Met Jeffrey Murray - CIO Tas Uni - at the eduCampus 2014 conference last week at Marina Bays Sands. Not an engaging person. When I introduced myself as an alumnus, he did not really respond. Perhaps he was not originally from Tas.
But am impressed by the IT-supported work that is going on in the uni - the collation of environment data from sensors around Australia, etc. Not the usual computerisation of this or that programmes.
Perhaps we should not be surprised as even back then, there was heaps of data coming off the radio telescope across the river - remember seeing the reams of printouts that we usually help ourselves to re-cycle for tutorial papers....
Also, insightful explanation of challenges of MOOC during a pane discussion.
Have also been reading a few papers on the IT-based examination system being tried out or implemented at Tas Uni. Good info for me.
My meeting with Brian Clark from RMIT was more engaging. Had some animated discussions with him.
