By comparison with other times I’ve travelled through Singapore, the airport was empty this week. And the Auckland to Singapore flight was only about a third full.
If people aren’t travelling in general due to the economic turn down and the latest flu threat, then students probably aren’t keen for international study either. In New Zealand this is a big issue as many of our students come form over seas.
So many of our institutions should be turning seriously to eLearning as a way to capture that market. If the students aren’t coming to study, take the study to the students.
I will watch with interest to see how this pans out over the coming few years, which institutions will adopt this appraoch in an big way, and how will they fair?
What’s you institution doing? Is their eLearning approach expanding?
