Uni hopes weekend lessons 'do compute' with students 

Published on 16 March, 2009 

They are an industrious lot in the port city of Gladstone, to the extent that university students are giving up part of their weekends for  computing workshops.

The Foundations of Business Computing (FOBC) course is piloting weekend sessions (the first on March 21) instead of the standard weekly lecture-tutorial schedule.

The move is an attempt to fit around students' lifestyles, which increasingly involve work commitments during the week.

Far from being a Stalag 13 experience, organisers are arranging 'more of a retreat feel but with outcomes'.

FOBC gives non-IT students a background in business-oriented Information Systems. Students develop basic skills in office productivity software such as Word.
