New initiatives
Adelaide to Outback is continuing to forge ahead with regard to technological innovations in education. As part of this pioneering effort, we have provided all 2011 & 2012 Cohort Registrars with an iPad as part of a pilot evaluation process.
This will allow us to bring Registrars new, engaging forms of learning. It will also allow us to reduce the financial and environmental cost of printed materials, as well as provide a uniform platform for distributing digital material
Funding is available to assist Registrars in rural areas to gain access to the internet from home.
