Technology that can save science

Access Grid Notes : "SCIENCE units struggling with low enrolments could be saved through a new collaboration project, according to Graham Pegg of Charles Darwin University."

I am really pleased to see academics collaborating on a technolgogy project which will have wide application and allow students to be drawn into the realm of science and technology. The project sounds pretty exciting and I hope it will create more ideas of how we can broaden our use of the technology we have at our disposal. It's pretty sad , though, for a country which considers itself developed we cannot seem to get students into science. Maybe they have to study content? It's odd. Our future is science and technology based and here we have a country oblivious to its importance. I am glad we still have some people left who are enthusiastic about still trying to get the message through. I think our priorities are up the creek if we don't understand that science is important in 2007.
