**Episode Highlights:**

[Professor Glenn Withers](https://researchers.anu.edu.au/researchers/withers-ga) provides insight on the current Vocational Education and Training (VET) and Higher Education environments in Australia and the important choices we should focus on at a national level. We discuss the challenges of internationalisation, massification and digitisation, and what’s driving universities to move online.

We ask if universities’ preoccupation with the on-campus experience may be blinding them to opportunities with blended and fully online offerings and what impact they may cause.
