Like many western universities, the University of Wollongong (Australia) is offering degrees to an increasing number of offshore students. Their usual offshore teaching model involves intensive delivery of course material. Disadvantages of this model include the apparent secondary nature of the offshore academic's role and its unsuitability for technical subjects. In this paper, the authors discuss experiments using Internet technologies to overcome those disadvantages.

These sequences are to be taught over the first two years of the Bachelor of Computer Science Degree and need to be taken in parallel.
