The study suggests that a digital divide will remainfor locations that have to rely on satellite Internet access, even once the NBN has been deployed.IntroductionIn step with the developments in technology and society, educators have embraced computer andInternet-based learning and teaching tools. This includes administrative tools such as CourseManagement Systems (CMS), e.g. Moodle, as well as tools with a strong learning and teachingfocus, such as peer assessment tools. Such learning tools are used by both, distance as well asface-to-face education. Modern distance education relies heavily on Information andCommunication Technology (ICT) to provide students with an

systematic use of technology actually helpsinstructors address perceptual dimensions of learning. Technology should not beviewed just as a growing trend; rather it must be intelligently implemented as avaluable instructional tool that can accommodate diverse learning styles of 21stcentury students. (Watkins, 2005). It is important to acknowledge that studentslearn better when alternative modes of information processing are made availableat college campuses. Dr. Walter B. Barbe, a nationally known authority in thefields of reading and learning disabilities has shown that perceptual modalitystyles provides an indication of an individual’s dominant learning mode.

Having a set ofbooks on related topics grouped on a shelf creates knowledge proximity better than a searchengine4 could. A few minutes of flipping can give a bird’s eye view of a topic, and a table of con-tents and index can give easy access to specific information very quickly. Moreover the books onthe shelf are generally trustworthy because they have been reviewed and

While the bachelor’s degree inCS is very much focused on technical and foundation aspects of computers and computeralgorithms, the BS-IT degree is intended for students with an interest in applyinginformation technology to other areas. The jobs that BS-IT majors are expected to fillfocus on the application of IT in an increasing number of emerging sub-disciplines.
