Central Queensland University is located in a Regional Centre on the rural coastal area of Queensland, with five regional campuses up to 350 kms apart. The nearest major cities are around 700 kms to the north and south. Though the University is isolated in a geographical sense it provides access to higher education at both the undergraduate and post graduate levels. The University is committed to open learning, the concept of an Integrated Regional University and is an internationally recognised provider of distance education. A variety of innovative educational approaches are used. The vision is for its staff to manage their own information well by effectively accessing and evaluating a variety of external information. The University has and is developing programs that equip its students with information management skills. It is this environment that has ensured the provision of a suitable information and communications technology infrastructure. This paper aims to describe how the University's vision is operationalised through its IT infrastructure and by Faculty and Division initiatives to create a mindset by staff to embrace the use of technology to enhance teaching and learning.
