Virtually Yours
Whateley, G. and Bofinger, I., (2025) Virtually Yours AMPA Publishing Volume 4 ISBN 978-1-7642798-5-7
The story of Virtually Yours is more than an historical record – it is a blueprint for the future of education. At the turn of the
millennium, when most institutions were still tentatively experimenting with online delivery, the Central Queensland Conservatorium of Music undertook something far bolder: it set out to create a Virtual Conservatorium. This initiative was not merely about survival in a geographically remote region with limited local enrolments; it was about reimagining what an institution could be in the digital age.
AI vs AcI
Whateley, G., Kopanakis, D., Bofinger, I. and Ahmed, M. (2025) AI vs AcI; Artificial Intelligence Versus Actual Intelligence AMPA Publishing Volume 3 ISBN 978-1-7640856-9-4
This publication approaches the issue of Artificial Intelligence (AI) from the point of view that it would be a shame to see Actual Intelligence (AcI) disappear altogether. The chapters explore the use of AI in its many forms and at the same time highlight the importance of human interaction and human intervention.
The Next 5 (Years)
Whateley, G.,Bofinger, I., Kopanakis, D. and Szram, A. (2025) The Next 5 (Years) AMPA Publishing Volume 1 ISBN 978 1 7640856 1 8
This publication places the emphasis on predicting what the next 5 years will look like from a number of perspectives. The challenge this time around is to look closely at what we have achieved to date – and then, using a longer lens, predict what our future (within a number of industries) will actually look like. It is not so much about ‘crystal ball gazing’ as an informed (and possibly optimistic) projection of both ourselves and the world around us

This publication brings together fifty (50) short articles written during the period 2020-2024 – essentially during the COVID-19 pandemic period.
