This article examines the role of information technology in University Teaching. In essence, it is a "vision statement"; the view of the Working Party of the University of Canberra of where many universities are now and where we believe Universities should be headed in the development of a teaching and information technology policy. The article conludes with a number of important recommendations that all universities will need to consider in the future.
