HERDSA Webinar: The online engagement framework: Activating students’ online learning experience
Thursday April 7, 1.00-2.00pm AEST.

It is widely known that the activation of student learning and engagement has a positive correlation to student success, motivation, persistence, and course completion (Kahu and Nelson 2018; Tight, 2020). Yet, there is still limited guidance for academic staff seeking knowledge related to learning and teaching, pedagogical design and strategies to afford types of engagement, all of which are critical to improving students’ learning experiences and outcomes. In this presentation Brown and Redmond revisit key features and elements of engagement (cognitive, social, behavioural, collaborative, and emotional) referred to in their seminal paper that introduced an online engagement framework for higher education (Redmond, et.al., 2018). They then share key insights from recent research that sought to advance the framework with practical, achievable strategies to increase the accessibility and applicability of the framework for academics. Participants will be invited to contribute to this discussion by sharing the types of online engagement strategies they use to activate students online learning.

HERDSA Webinar: Active Learning in Higher Education
April 19th 2022, 6-7pm AEST

Active Learning in Higher Education:

  1. Engaging students in authentic project-based learning to facilitate the development of graduate attributes in the context of professional preparation.
  2. Sharing learning and teaching experiences with team-based experiential learning when transitioning from face-to-face to online learning.

The first presentation covers how integrating authentic project-based learning in the form of a song competition into the curriculum design fosters students’ employability thinking. The second presentation covers teachers’ and students’ team-based WIL learning experiences when they transitioned between online and face-to-face delivery modes at a large Australian university business school. Focus will be on how this experience during the pandemic can help to improve curriculum practice. Participants are encouraged to share their own active learning experiences.
