Meeting over dim sum

Meeting over dim sum Originally uploaded by CSU Information Studies.

One of the pleasures of travelling is, of course, enjoying the food and social activities of different cultures.

Thanks to our partnership with Hong Kong University School of Professional and Continuing Education, this is an experience that lecturers at the School of Information Studies are able to enjoy when we teach our students in Hong Kong.

Jake Wallis, Roy Sanders and John Mills spent some time in Hong Kong in early March, teaching groups of students in our Masters of Applied Science (Library and Information Management) course. Roy had been even further afield, having visited our students at the University of Mauritius!

Here we enjoy a traditional dim sum lunch with Ruby Lee, the program administrator at HKU SPACE.

Whilst the majority of our students are in Australia, the focus on distance education here at the School of Information Studies allows us to provide courses to groups of students in countries a long, long way away. You'd be surprised by the locations that some of our student assignments have to be sent back to!

Welcome!


We'll be using this blog to keep you informed about what is happening at the School of Information Studies at Charles Sturt University; who's who's, who's where and who's doing what!

There's always plenty going on and we'll even provide some piccies too.
