HERDSA 2024: Talking about Teaching and Learning (TATAL) pre-conference workshop
Online 24th June, F2F 8th July 2024

The HERDSA conference in Adelaide this July precedes workshops, including the blended/flipped TATAL (Talking About Teaching and Learning) workshop starting online on June 24th. Open to new and existing HERDSA members, it's designed for those reflecting on teaching, seeking support in writing a Teaching Philosophy. The flipped workshop initiates collaborative reflection on teaching and student learning. Participants can continue the experience post-conference, developing a teaching portfolio and reflecting further in face-to-face or virtual meetings. TATAL is a collaborative space for academic teachers to reflect on teaching and student learning. It supports reflective practice and the development of teaching philosophies. TATAL participation has resulted in 21 individuals becoming HERDSA Fellows, with the anticipation of more TATALers joining the new HERDSA Fellows in Adelaide.

CRADLE Seminar Series: Beyond Emergency Remote Teaching
8 May 2024, 2-3.30pm

Join this seminar to hear about the enduring effects of the pandemic on higher education from CRADLE Fellow A/Prof Jaclyn Broadbent

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted traditional methods of teaching and learning within higher education. But what remained when the pandemic passed? While the majority of the literature explores the shifts during the pandemic, with much speculation about post-pandemic futures, a clear understanding of lasting implications remains elusive. To illuminate this knowledge gap, our study contrasts pedagogical practices in matched courses from the pre-pandemic year (2019) to the post-pandemic phase (2022/2023).

We also investigate the factors influencing these changes and the perceptions of academics on these shifts. Data were gathered from academics in a large comprehensive Australian university of varying disciplines through a mixed-methods approach, collecting 67 survey responses and conducting 21 interviews. Findings indicate a notable increase in online learning activities, authentic and scaffolded assessments, and online unsupervised exams post-pandemic. These changes were primarily driven by university-guided adaptations, time and workload pressures, continued COVID-19 challenges, local leadership, an individual desire to innovate, and concerns about academic integrity. While most changes were seen as favourable by academics, perceptions were less positive concerning online examinations.

These findings illuminate the enduring effects of the pandemic on higher education, suggesting longer-term implications than previous studies conducted during the acute phase of the pandemic.
Be part of this highly interactive session as Jaclyn unpacks the pre- and post effects and outcomes of the pandemic whilst provicating implications for the future.
