Join us for an inspiring discussion as our expert practitioners from Monash University share their practice of creating meaningful, scaffolded learning experiences for students in Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences. From undergraduate on-campus learners, to Master degree students learning wholly online, John McInerney’s and John Ryan’s approaches to making learning visible across the program are sure to provide you with plenty of inspiration and practical advice.

This webinar is for anyone supporting learning and teaching – in any subject-matter area – who is interested in how to take considered program-wide and student-centred learning approaches.

Mission Possible: The DNA of a bespoke professional development program

Talk description: The diversity of students in higher education dictates that there cannot (and should not) be a single ‘silver bullet’ approach to address the complex challenge of career readiness learning. However, the reality of modern university structures is that delivering bespoke experiences for each student is a challenge in and of itself.  And yet, all things are possible with creative use of PebblePad to streamline delivery (for the university) and make it highly personalised (for the student). 

Bio: Gayle Brent is a Learning and Teaching Consultant (Employability) at Griffith University, Queensland, Australia. Gaye’s specialist area of interest is developing and implementing strategies to enhance staff and student understanding of employability in both curricular and extra-curricular contexts. She completed a Master of Education and Professional Studies Research to explore the potential barriers and challenges to embedding employability-based learning in higher education curriculum and is currently completing a Doctor of Philosophy exploring the impact of an extra-curricular employability program on the individual student experience.

Education is an Experience That Should Be Designed

Talk description: We have any number of problems and opportunities as universities, and universities must adapt to help students from diverse backgrounds develop the knowledge and skills they need to thrive and make a positive impact in the world.
