                       Kurrajong Hotel Bar, Canberra

               Topic: Real Learning at the Virtual University
         Special Guest: Tina O'Brien, University of South Australia

Tina O'Brien is journalism trained but most interested in the delivery
of information on the web. She did Honours in the presentation of large
amounts of text on screen - fonts, layout & etc. Currently undertaking
Masters in International Studies focusing on issues involved in the
online delivery of courses offshore. She is interested in all things
(except the technical aspects) to do with tertiary educational materials
online. This includes making clean sites that are fast loading, with
great navigation.
Her study interests revolve around the remote delivery of courses across
the web, including practical, cultural, communication, social, political
and equity issues. She is currently looking at David Noble's "Diploma
Mills" papers, and some papers in which his arguments are challenged.

IRCs are free (but you have to buy your own drinks and one for the
special guest) and open to anyone interested: just turn up. Internet
Reality Check (not to be confused with Internet Relay Chat) is designed
so that members of the 'net community can meet and exchange the small
amount of very important information which is not suitable for digital
transmission. ;-)
