Charles Sturt staff can now self-enrol in four new GLO short courses through the Brightspace Learning system. The available courses are:

Indigenous Cultural Competency GLO and Pedagogical Framework program

This program introduces the frameworks and processes for mapping and embedding Indigenous Australia Studies content across a course. It provides ideas and support for delivering First Nations content in subjects.

Sustainable Practices GLO

This course will introduce you to the Sustainable Practices GLO and processes for aligning and embedding content across a course or subject. Towards the end of this course, you will be provided with a range of resources that you can adapt, modify, or use to contextualise sustainability into your course or subject.

Global Citizenship GLO

Learn about the Global Citizenship GLO and how to align and embed this content in your courses or subjects. This outcome ensures that Charles Sturt courses prepare students to thrive in a multicultural world and compete successfully in the global market.

Academic Literacy and Numeracy GLO

This course introduces the Academic Literacy and Numeracy GLO and provides guidance on aligning and embedding this content across a course or subject.

We are also welcoming abstracts from Charles Sturt University staff that focus on any area of learning and teaching. Abstracts will need to be informed by research and scholarly evidence and speak to the underpinning theme of regionality. Submissions close on Monday 26 August. This year, we will be inviting abstracts for two categories:

• Oral presentations – these are short presentations of work underway or completed.
• Roundtables – these are longer sessions that provide an opportunity for critical dialogue.

Lloyd Dolan has a new book: A Review of the Philology, Phonology and Etymology of Wiradyuri Language.

This unique book was inspired by his over twenty years of working in language revitalisation. He realised the need for a more in-depth understanding of language. It has been six years in the making! It provides a practical analysis of the Wiradyuri language's philology, phonology, and etymology.

This book is the first of its kind and a must for advanced Wiradyuri language learners and teachers.

This book will be available to borrow from the Charles Sturt Library, and you can purchase it at the below link.

The WIL Strategy Team are hosting a series of co-design work-integrated learning (WIL) sessions with the community and industry in our regional locations. The first in the series will be held in Wagga Wagga on Wednesday, 10 April 2024. The sessions will:

• Provide a platform for local community organisations, industry partners, students, academics, and other interested staff to gain a comprehensive understanding of WIL.
• Explore key aspects of WIL, including essential skills, effective collaboration, and alignment with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
• Have guest community and industry speakers who will share their expectations, and students will provide valuable insights into what constitutes successful WIL experiences.

Together, we’ll uncover best practices, foster meaningful connections, and empower students on their WIL journey.
