Over the last few years the number of fee paying international students attending Australian Universities has increased dramatically. However with the increasing number of international students enrolling in Tertiary education, awareness of their different learning styles has become apparent. Therefore the current way in which unit information is presented to students is no longer ideal and procedures are needed to be reviewed in order to keep up with the changing audience.
