• Making the Grade

Les Hardy and Jodie Maxfield from the Faculty of Business at Gippsland were awarded a $20,000 grant to develop a better on-line learning system for students. The grant was one of only two that will be presented by the Melbourne/Monash Committee for Collaboration in Educational Technology grants in 2003. The project will extend work that all recipients are currently working on in their separate discipline areas while enhancing the grassroots cooperation that already exists between Monash University and Melbourne University.
