This paper considers how digital convergence of text, audio and image
on might impact on the content, structure and delivery of
journalism education. It will review course development at Central
Queensland University where online journalism programs have been
unfolding for two years. It will consider the construction of an action
research project, examining how online delivered, industry mentored
programs might be funded, offered anised for journalism students
located in widely disparate regional locations. The project, centred on
the regional city of Emerald, will review how online distance learning
materials might be delivered face to face to remote students brought
together by data base analysis, interactivity and other online
resources.
Central Queensland university
Central Queensland University is Australia’s most geographically
disparate and ethnically diverse, regionally based university. It operates
over ten Australian campuses and four overseas franchises. Almost fifty
percent of CQU’s 18000 students were in 2002, foreign, fee-paying
visitors, drawn from the Asian Pacific region. These students were
primarily located in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
International students received external courses and programs delivered
by locally hired tutors. Courses were conceived, created, administered,
moderated and examined from Rockhampton.
