Previously we estimated that the loss of revenue, predominantly from the collapse of the international education market, would amount to at least $13bn by end 2023. We then commented on possible responses the Australian Government might take to provide assistance. Measures individual universities may need to consider to mitigate losses are discussed here.
With the guaranteeing (at least for 2020) of grant funding for Australian subsidised student programmes, the financial impact on individual universities will depend largely on their exposure to the international student market and the nature of that exposure.

"For the upcoming practical series, the students are to analyse microarray data from two different breast cancer cell lines treated with a statin drug. They look at which genes are upregulated and/or downregulated in the drug-treated cells versus untreated cells and then perform gene enrichment analyses to determine the biological or functional pathways that involve these upregulated/downregulated genes. Luckily, this was the “dry” component of the practical which can more easily be performed remotely. However, the “wet lab” component involved students picking a gene of interest from the microarray data and validating whether it was indeed upregulated/downregulated in the breast cancer cells when treated with the drug. This would have involved extracting RNA from the cells, performing reverse transcription to generate complementary DNA (cDNA) and then setting up a quantitative PCR (qPCR) to measure relative gene expression levels of that gene of interest. Doing this is now, unfortunately, not possible."

More than 2,500 students spanning almost 50 countries officially completed years of study today (April 22), all of them celebrating online due to current gathering restrictions.
Despite their degrees of separation, the graduates were more connected than ever.
Each received a video message from Chancellor John Dornbusch and Vice-Chancellor Professor Geraldine Mackenzie and access to a digital testamur.
Also on offer was a Celebration Pack of digital goodies, including Zoom background images, to help graduates revel their achievement with family and friends.

In the 14th Century, Laurentius de Voltolina’s paintbrush captured this image of a medieval lecture at the University of Bologna. Imagine his reaction if Laurentius were to peek inside a university today.
A digital revolution is transforming the ways in which student engage with learning.
Virtual (VR), mixed (MR), augmented (AR) and eXtended (XR) reality technologies allow learners to experience immersive learning experiences. In health sciences, students can see an animated augmented reality 3D beating heart simply using their mobile device. Fancy conducting your own simulated knee reconstruction or appendectomy? Check out an augmented reality app like Touch Surgery to choose from one of over 1000 surgeries. Theatrical set designers can create a visualisation from their imagination. Astronomy students can watch holographic stars form before their very eyes.

In partnership with Microsoft
Universities around the world are racing to offer students on-line learning opportunities that allow them to continue studying despite the restrictions imposed to stop the spread of COVID-19.
Australian universities have pioneered a series of world-leading on-line learning initiatives that have already proven highly effective, delivering impressive results in terms of student engagement and subject grasp. Their experiences provide valuable insights for other universities which are also seeking to deliver genuinely rich learning experiences, by rapidly spinning up powerful collaborative on-line learning communities, with sustained benefits for both students and academics.
