DIY or Buy?
• Open standards/”best of breed”– cost– flexibility– performance
• Proprietary systems– cost– speed of implementation– performance
![Page 8: Professor Stephen Brown JISC Technologies Centre Choosing and Using MLEs and VLEs 10 April 2001 Sheffield Hallam University Choosing and Using MVLEs: An.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649ea05503460f94ba3282/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Australia
• 38 funded universities• 2 private universities• Self accredited – audited by federal
government• Student numbers increasing• Increasing proportion female• 59% full time• 14% studying DL (94,000)
![Page 9: Professor Stephen Brown JISC Technologies Centre Choosing and Using MLEs and VLEs 10 April 2001 Sheffield Hallam University Choosing and Using MVLEs: An.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649ea05503460f94ba3282/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Australia
• < 50% straight from school
• 19% in 20s
• 34% 30-39
• 21% 40-49
• Mainly high – mid socio-economic groups
• 60% live in cities

Australia
• Reductions in teaching and support staff • Social justice/equity to economic drivers
– Savings – Revenue
• Shift from pure DL to hybrid delivery• Shift from print media to media mix• Shift from marginal activity in few HEIs to
mainstream activity widespread
