UNE Business School senior lecturer in Accounting, Leopold Bayerlein, realised that students engaged better with his course if they had work experience, but getting that experience is impossible for many online students. So Leopold devised a way of giving all his students work experience, wherever they are, with terrific results.

This sort of innovative thinking brings satisfaction to the innovator, helps their career and supports the strategic aim of the university to have a “bold and innovative” operating environment.
