Walk around any city or town and what do you see? You see young people
text messaging; commuters jamming to their iPods; friends snapping photos on
their camera phones. Look a bit further and you see doctors' decisions aided by
patient information called up on hand-held devices; teachers using wireless
technology as tools; parents printing photos on cordless printers before
leaving their children's football games. Look further still and you see
executives going digital and cutting billions of dollars out of supply chains.
And if you go to Africa or India, you may even see wireless devices providing
opportunity in communities that don't even have electricity.
We are entering an era where everything is going digital. It's going to
be the main event of our lives for decades to come and at the CTU Career Campus
we are doing the same, GOING DIGITAL.
Every process, in every industry—from banking to academia and from
medicine to international security—is beginning to follow that same pattern.
It's empowering, but also a bit scary, because it's a leap into the unknown.
Nobody knows for sure how to equip themselves.
We have seen this digital movement in Tertiary providers, Primary and
High schools in South Africa and in 2013, CTU will offer BYOD (Bring your own
device) to our students. We are slowly moving into the digital age and to be honest
forced to make this shift sooner rather than later. Africa. Microsoft will this
year provide digital training manuals and therefore CTU will need to make
provision for a digital academic year.
We hereby invite all students that own a laptop or tablet to “bring your own device” to the campus.
This device will aid you in your learning, as you now will have the digital
training manuals on your own device and can comfortably study or work on
projects at home. Laptops that adhere to the minimum PC requirements will be
loaded with the selected software *
provided to CTU students and can be used during the academic year at CTU. The benefit of making use of your own device
is that your projects can go home with you and you can fit in extra study time
and practical time.
* Adobe special offer to students to be confirmed.
For your convenience we include the PC requirements list and encourage
all students to purchase the following computers or bring the tablet/laptop you
do own to upload digital training manuals.
CTU will make provision for students who do not own or not able to
purchase their own device.
Best of luck for 2013…enjoy this exciting digital movement.
