A Woolf Fisher Fellowship enabled me to visit a number of innovative educational institutions in various parts of the world, including the Canadian distance tertiary education delivery in Nova Scotia, using technology to overcome the tyranny of geographic isolation. Modelling this led to SIT developing its own distance learning faculty, SIT2LRN, which has proven to be invaluable, enabling SIT to deliver cost-effective, quality education and training throughout New Zealand and across the world, as well as blended on-site delivery and seamless delivery for SIT students during the 2020 COVID lockdown.
