Academics and other interested people have attended a series of free CQU presentations by visiting experts about the challenges of teaching in our increasingly technological age.

Dr Kathleen Gray, from the University of Melbourne's Biomedical Multimedia Unit, this week (August 27-28) talked about challenges raised by academic use of blogging, audio and video podcasting, social bookmarking, social networking and wiki-writing forms.

She also discussed 'Digital Natives': first-year students' experiences and preferences in relation to information and communications technologies.

The presentations were delivered at CQU Rockhampton and videoconferenced live to lecture rooms at other campuses.
