Unis in fierce battle for Asia's e-students - Jennifer Foreshew, Australian IT

Online student numbers at Australian universities have doubled in the past three years, leading to a battle for a share of growing numbers of Asian students using distance and online education. Australian universities are competing fiercely in the Asia-Pacific region, South-East Asia and China, and the stakes have been raised by the entry of other international institutions, particularly from Britain and the US. According to IDP Education Australia's report International Students in Australian Universities Semester 1, 2004, 18,670 overseas students were enrolled in distance and online courses with Australian universities, compared with about 9000 in 2001.
