  • Department of Tutorial Classes, Sydney University, 1919 to 1963 Darryl Dymock and Ann Kelly Griffith University
    24 Meeting diverse expectations Meeting diverse expectations: Department of Tutorial Classes, Sydney University, 1919 to 1963 Darryl Dymock and Ann Kelly Griffith University The University of Sydney has offered some form of organised adult education since the late 19th century. In 1914, that provision was formalised through the establishment of a Department of Tutorial Classes, the appointment of a Director, and a partnership with the Workers’ Educational Association (WEA). Right from that time, however, there was ambivalence and sometimes direct opposition to the role and sometimes to the existence of the department. As a result, successive directors of the department had to tread for extending the academy into the adult community, while also satisfying the demands of the WEA. This paper reviews the period of three directorships of the Department of Tutorial Classes, between 1919 and 1963, and argues that the liberal adult education approach adopted by the university from its earliest days was sustained over those 45 years mainly because ongoing disagreement within the university about the purpose of the department and the status of the director, as well as continuing external pressure from the WEA, ensured that the status quo prevailed, even when there were innovative adult education developments elsewhere, and opportunities for change presented themselves. Darryl Dymock and Ann Kelly 25 Introduction University adult education was introduced into Australia more than a century ago as a means of extending the knowledge and expertise of the academy to the general public, through means other than formal tertiary courses. All the sandstone universities and others such as adult education programs.

  • Cybersecurity Education at Formal University Level: an Australian Perspective
    Journal of The Colloquium for Information System Security Education (CISSE) Edition 5, Issue 2 - March 2018 Cybersecurity Education at Formal University Level: An Australian Perspective William J Caelli [email protected] School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Science and Engineering Faculty Queensland University of Technology, Australia; Vicky Liu [email protected] School of Information and Communication Technology Griffith University, Australia Abstract - Cybersecurity studies at undergraduate / postgraduate level are offered at numerous universities in Australia. The level offered varies from a specifically named undergraduate / postgraduate coursework degree to usual IT or relevant degrees offering cybersecurity as a minor or major theme. A minority of universities do not offer any specific cybersecurity specific course while others offer such courses in association with industry organisations. Based upon an extensive analysis of published course / program data from university websites, chosen as the best data repository that would normally be examined by prospective students, this study submits that in Australia available courses are few and are acknowledged as not meeting market demands for skilled cybersecurity professionals. This has been recently recognised by Australia’s Federal Government which has implemented the “Academic Centres of Cyber Security Excellence (ACCSE)” program in its 2016 / 2017 budget to promote the discipline and university support for it. In summary, courses currently available appear quite limited in scope. 1 Journal of The Colloquium for Information System Security Education (CISSE) Edition 5, Issue 2 - March 2018 Keywords information security education, cybersecurity education and training, IT education, networking and cybersecurity, cybersecurity courses 1 INTRODUCTION This study examines the situation in relation to courses of study in cybersecurity offered at the formal university level in Australia at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
