The University of Melbourne has won the strategic innovation online award for its Graduate-Online courses ,from the US University Professional and Continuing Education Association.

The programme launched in 2015 but CMM suspects it is going to get bigger, faster.

In November UniMelb announced its School of Professional and Continuing Education, which will offer “lifelong learning opportunities for professionals across all academic areas for people at all stages of their career.” According to VC Glyn Davis, “the rise of the internet and associated digital media and tools, have opened up new possibilities in the provision of, participation in, and access to, education.” (CMM November 17).
