This week in #EducationNow, join us as we journey down under to explore innovation and technology adoption at a vibrant, global university.

Remote communities to serve. Innovations to finance. Global pressure to heighten student and educator experiences on a budget. Curtin University faced challenges that many of us across the globe are facing today in an uncertain environment where distance and remote learning are the norm, innovation is expected, and budgets are ever-shrinking. 

Over the past 15 years, I have visited dozens of universities in the US, Canada, Europe, Scandinavia, Asia and the Middle East—providing me with a front row seat to the diversity of approaches being used to navigate unique opportunities, challenges and constraints. Among the universities that most stand out across those 15 years, Curtin University is a model of innovation.
