Abstract
The new generation of digitised and converged communications and information technologies are fast making ‘virtual’ universities a reality. But what is the likely involvement of media, ente rta in ment and communications giants such as Murdoch’s News Corporation and Disney? What happens to the traditional university? While higher education is radically changing the world over, TERRY FLEW cautions that the changes are incremental rather than epochal and we shouldn’t blindly acccept claims they are fundamental.
