Regional campuses and invisible innovation: impacts of non-traditional students in ‘Regional Australia’
通过澳大利亚案例，研究区域校区在欠发达地区的发展作用，发现政策忽视了校区和非传统学生的创新潜力，并提出了进一步研究的方向。
This article explores the regional development role of university campuses in less-advantaged peripheral regions with attention to the role of students. In the international literature, regional campuses are theorized as playing three types of regional development roles: developing regional human capital, contributing to regional innovation and supporting regional community development. A case study of regional campuses in the Australian context identifies that current policy framing overlooks the innovative potential of regional campuses and their students. This paper opens an agenda for further research on regional campuses’ work with ‘non-traditional’ student cohorts and its impacts on the development of peripheral regions.
