Lyn Hay
Lecturer, School of Information Studies

The School of Information Studies (SIS) is undergoing a major curriculum renewal, involving a greater infusion of online teaching and learning strategies. This will include the use of Web 2.0 technologies to provide students with opportunities to learn flexibly in terms of time, place and pace, to cater for diverse learning styles and to encourage more collaborative learning experiences for DE students.
This project involves the design of twelve subjects and consists of three phases: Design & Testing, Implementation & Evaluation, and Dissemination. While contributing to a culture of curriculum renewal and improving staff expertise in flexible and blended learning strategies, the outcomes are also designed to build our School’s scholarship in, research and publication output.

Ian Hardy
Lecturer School of Education

To collaboratively enquire into the factors which enable and constrain teaching practices in pre-service education programmes within a school of education in a rural and regional university in Australia, and to theorise these findings in light of various traditions of practice.

The project is significant because it involves the interrogation of educators’ teaching practices, and the application and extension of various theoretical traditions of practice to better understand these practices. Expected outcomes include data generated from educators’ collaborative and individual reflections, which will be used to write a minimum of one journal article.
