HERDSA President - Call for Nominations
31 March

Nominations for the position of HERDSA President are now open. The position of HERDSA President requires a three year commitment. For the first year, beginning at the 2022 conference in July, the successful candidate serves as President-elect. This one-year position enables the full induction of the incoming President into the current practices and systems of the Society before the full role of President is assumed at the conclusion of the 2023 conference.

The President of HERDSA is an important voluntary role which has major responsibility for governance of the Society and effective leadership of the Executive Committee. The role includes strategic guidance of the various Executive portfolios (Secretariat, Publications, Professional Learning, Networks), chairing of Executive meetings and oversight of the various society activities. The President represents HERDSA at international and national forums and liaises with senior leaders. The nurturing of collaborative alliances with government authorities and other higher education societies forms a further part of the role.

HERDSA is seeking an individual who has a strong association with the Society, experience in leadership and effective communication skills. An understanding of higher education and its development is an advantage. Sponsorship from the candidate’s institution is recommended, as the position requires considerable time commitment and requires a dedicated leader who takes strong responsibility for the role. Potential candidates are welcome to speak with the current President Professor Kogi Naidoo. (office@herdsa.org.au)

The nominee, proposer and seconder must be HERDSA members.

If more than one nomination is received, an election will be held.

The current President Professor Kogi Naidoo is eligible to serve another term as President.

The Nomination Form can be requested from HERDSA by emailing office@herdsa.org.au.

Nominations should be in the following format.

• Name, Email and signature of Nominee
• Name, Email and signature of Proposer
• Name, Email and signature of Seconder

The nominee should also provide a single page statement outlining:

• Name, role and institutional affiliation
• Short biography (100 words maximum)
• Personal statement

Please forward to office@herdsa.org.au by March 31, 2022

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.
