Steve Jobs
1955-2011
The Apple University Consortium in Australia was founded in 1984 with the release of the Macintosh computer and was based on a similar model to that setup by Steve Jobs in the USA. Steve knew that tomorrow’s leaders and innovators were studying at Universities around the world, and he wanted them to have the latest technology in their hands to make sure they could appreciate the role technology would have in the future.
This year the AUC in Australia is celebrating its 27th year of supporting users of Apple technology amongst Australian & New Zealand Universities however our celebrations will be tinged with sadness as we remember Steve for his vision, inspiration and support of teaching and learning for all.
