Adelaide University, one of the elite Group of Eight universities in Australia (and my alma mater in the 1970s pre-Woke era which increasingly seems as far away and long ago as the Precambrian) has officially decided to ditch the traditional lecture. The last rites will soon be read and that pedagogical tool will be no more on the North Terrace campus – another casualty of the university sector’s relentless ‘modernisation’ into technocratic, depersonalised, hyper-corporate contemporary tertiary education business enterprises.
