Welcome to our new site

We’ve been putting a lot of work into the new site over the past few months, and we rather proud of what we’ve accomplished. The new site is built on a modern CMS, and is running on new hardware. Pages should load faster than before, and look great as well.

We’ve added new features like comment support (via DISQUS), so you can share your thoughts on our content not just with us, but with your friends on most of the popular social networks.

We still have a way to go with the redesign, and we still have quite a bit of content to bring over from the old site, so please bear with us as we continue the process of renewal.  And please, feel free to provide feedback on the new site, and let us know of any problems you find. We’ll be grateful for your input.

Steve Jobs

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.
