moving beyond the well-worn path
4I read a negative report in The Age newspaper about IT as a course of study in Victoria. A key line that I picked out regarding the cause of problem was that :
"All the off-the-shelf, do-it-yourself and managed services have created a well-worn and safe rut. It is easier to follow than to innovate, to take risks."
Melbourne is trying really hard to package itself as an IT center for innovation. I am encouraged that I have the opportunity to work with groups at the cutting edge to support fellow IT educators. They all have moved beyond the well-worn paths and are exploring new territories.
