This paper discusses the role of the lecture in contemporary higher education.

The previous two decades have seen much improvement in the first-year experience of students attending university. Yet for a significant proportion of students, coping with university study remains challenging.

When faced with too much information and not enough time, are students turning to the best online resources, and how are they using them?

Universities function within multiple contexts: their individual history and missions; national political and funding regimes; and dynamic, even unpredictable, international developments. Across the world, however, universities which aim to be centres of academic excellence are confronting a range of similar challenges.

Australia has an advanced economy. It is the second wealthiest nation after Switzerland in terms of wealth per adult. It has GDP of around $1.7 trillion and the record for the longest run of uninterrupted GDP growth in the developed world. We can afford a decently funded tertiary education sector to keep that economic performance going.
