Abstract

The paper reports the perceptions of Indigenous Australian students of their Bachelor of Education Program. The students studied the same courses with the same lectures as the on-campus cohorts but off-campus in remote small communities via interactive multimedia courseware, the Internet, teleconferences, textbooks, video, and on-site tutors. Their perspectives of the degree program have been consistently more favourable than their on-campus peers. These perspectives and innovative nature of the various attributes of the cross-cultural program are discussed.
