78. 5. Offering Inducements - “FREE” iPads - Concern is that private providers will “cherry pick” the popular courses – and offer inducements - They are already offering an iPad if you enrol with them – mainly business, management and marketing courses Remaining IssuesSmart & Skilled

79. 6. inappropriate shortening the course duration - concentrating on just the competencies alone -often missing the “hidden” curriculum altogether – attitude & philosophy etc. -Also losing the “Brains Trust” Remaining IssuesSmart & Skilled

80. 7. Emphasis on online delivery - this may not be appropriate for all students -successful online students are motivated and self regulating -- others do better with face-2-face delivery Remaining IssuesSmart & Skilled
