Cradle Coast Campus a model for flexible learning

The University of Tasmania's (UTas) new Cradle Coast Campus at Burnie might provide a useful model for flexible learning for secondary and tertiary institutions in Australia. The facilities, including a wellness centre are housed in the one building, with computer equipped open plan areas, cafe and library, as well as more formal study areas. It is a shame the building was not avialable when I gave a talk in Burnie last year.

ps: Of course, a cynic might say that the "wellness centre" was a way to get around the former federal government's ban on student union facilities. ;-)
