Abstract
Given the range of ICT-assisted delivery options available today, the uninitiated might assume that teaching across multiple campuses no longer presents any significant challenges. Further, it could be argued that terms such as multi-campus and distance teaching have less relevance now that ICT enables flexible learning beyond the time and spatial confines of the physical campus. In fact, research literature indicates that multi-campus teaching continues to present some unique pedagogical, technical, learning support and administrative challenges. Based on a search of Australian University Web sites, this paper examines principles, practices and challenges for ICT- assisted teaching and learning at multi-campus institutions, at the same time noting a lack of comprehensive online resources that address ICT-assisted multi-campus teaching as a distinct category of flexible learning.
