HERDSA Webinar - Looking under the QILT: using QILT data in higher education research
Thursday 2nd June, 2022 1-2pm AEST

Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching (QILT) includes four national surveys across the higher education student life cycle. The Student Outcomes Survey (SES) which looks at the experience of current commencing and completing, undergraduate and postgraduate coursework students, the Graduate Outcomes Survey (GOS) which looks at graduate outcomes 4-6 months after course completion, the GOS-Longitudinal (GOS-L) which follows up GOS respondents about three years later and the Employer Satisfaction Survey (ESS) which looks at data from the supervisors of GOS respondents. For this webinar Lisa Bolton, Director of QILT Research and Strategy, will explain the QILT surveys and how institutions can access the QILT survey data for higher education research. Professor Denise Jackson (Edith Cowan University) will then present a case study of her research which used QILT data to evaluate progress in developing employability and to determine influences on graduate employment.

Presenters: Lisa Bolton and Professor Denise Jackson

UQ ITaLI Seminar: Experiences of CALD higher education students during COVID-19
Monday, 20 June 2022, 3-4:30pm AEST

COVID-19 created many challenges for universities and continues to do so. It has magnified existing barriers for educational participation and revealed some unanticipated positive consequences for enhanced flexibility and more engaged learning.

Based on a national study of the experiences of culturally and linguistically diverse migrant and refugee (CALDMR) students and educators in Australian higher education, this seminar will explore the opportunities and challenges of online teaching and learning with equity student cohorts from the analysis of data gathered with CALDMR students and university educators (including student-facing support staff and educational designers). Tronto’s (1993, 2013) five ethics of care – attentiveness, responsibility, competence, responsiveness and trust – is used to consider how caring online is possible and what challenges we need to consider and work to overcome moving ahead.

Presenter: Dr. Sally Baker (UNSW)
Dr Sally Baker is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Education. Sally’s teaching and research interests centre on language, literacies, transition and equity in higher education, particularly with regard to culturally and linguistically diverse students, and refugee students in particular. Sally is the Chair of the national Refugee Education Special Interest Group for/with students from refugee backgrounds, supported by the Refugee Council of Australia.

This conference, hosted by C3L, the top edtech research centre in Australia, will feature engaging panels and world-renowned keynote addresses on the most urgent challenges and opportunities facing today’s education systems.

Conference registration is $150. For more details visit https://www.unisa.edu.au/calendar/the-centre-for-change-and-complexity-i...
