Making online learning connect with your students: What have we learnt about how we connect with each other online?

HERDSA Victoria are pleased to announce an online panel discussion to be hosted by Dr Dawn Gilmore (Director, Teaching and Learning at RMIT Online). This session will examine how students and academics are connecting with each other online, particularly in the context of the pandemic-prompted move to online teaching and learning.


Academic Integrity during COVID19

Among the many challenges faced by universities in the context of COVID-19 is the problem of invigilated exams. Every semester university students have historically gathered en masse, seated in large halls in tight rows (in contravention of social distancing) to sit for examinations. But this year, universities have had to make quick, pragmatic decisions about whether to defer their examination periods, conduct exams online, or replace exams with alternative assessments.


Engaging students and staff in inclusive partnerships in global learning before, during and beyond COVID-19

‘Students as partners’ (SaP) is a particular approach to student engagement, which positions students as genuine contributors to all aspects of university life, including the curriculum. This webinar will provide examples of practices, which have engaged diverse students and lecturers as partners in global learning, at home and abroad, in the formal and co-curriculum during the past few years.


Enabling online education: access, engagement and innovation in digital spaces

In facing the unprecedented challenges of COVID-19, how can we best support students to transition to online study? As higher education moves completely online, educators are working to minimise student disruptions and support all students to learn. This presentation will provide useful strategies for supporting student access and engaging students through online learning.
