The Queensland University of Technology (QUT) supports traditional education with technology.

Established in 1849, it is a university in Australia with an applied emphasis in courses and research. As of 2009 it has 40,000 students, including 6000 from overseas.

The Queensland University of Technology was created in January 1989 by redesignation of the Queensland Institute of Technology.

As of 2008, QUT uses Blackboard for all course units. Per its online teaching and learning web pages:

QUT utilizes online learning and teaching to deliver a range of benefits to its students. Online learning and teaching makes it easier for students to work collaboratively, provides greater access to learning resources, and allows students to learn at their own place. It also provides more opportunity for feedback and practice, and for reflective practices in learning.

Teaching online involves using a range of new technologies for instructional purposes. To exploit the possibilities of new media most effectively, the development of online courses involves carrying out an educational needs analysis, consulting content experts, graphic and instructional designers, skill development and having access to the equipment, hardware and software needed to produce multimedia and web-based materials.

The University includes copyright material such as journal articles, cases, legislation or book chapters in recommended readings and lecture notes. Presentations, readings and lecture notes which contain copyright material are made available to students through the Course Materials Database (CMD) which is accessible through QUT Blackboard.

The QUT main office is in Brisbane, Australia.
