Discover our three distinctive learning models designed to promote students as active participants in our learning community, each drawing on Charles Sturt University's strengths and regional focus.
These models are actively being refined through collaboration with university stakeholders. The characteristics outlined below represent our current framework, which will continue to develop as we progress through this initiative.
Discover the models below by clicking each card to learn more.
Your learning, your way
A flexible and supportive online learning experience that moves with you - designed to connect you with others, immerse you in purposeful learning and prepare you for your career, wherever you are.
You have to be there!
A connected in person learning experience where you learn face to face, build lasting friendships and professional networks, and gain real world experience that prepares you for your career - all in inspiring regional campuses and community settings.
Learn online, connect in person
A balanced and integrated experience that blends flexible online study with immersive in-person learning - supporting your progress, your connections and your career goals, wherever you are.
All three models maintain consistent high standards across these critical areas:
All modes apply inclusive design and provide reasonable adjustments for disability, caregiving, work, and regional/remote contexts.
Culturally safe practices are upheld across curriculum, environments, assessment and support. First Nations knowledges are embedded with appropriate consultation and consent, and First Nations ICIP rights are respected.
WIL design and delivery align with university policy and relevant accreditation and industry requirements in all modes.
Assessments follow identity verification and academic integrity safeguards appropriate to the mode.
All models are underpinned by centrally supported fit-for-purpose ed-tech, with published student requirements, staff development and an enablement stream that maps capabilities, addresses gaps and ensures integrity, accessibility and scale.
All modes state minimum and recommended device and network specifications per course/subject, and how to access help. All technology tools are centrally supported and compatible with assistive technologies. Low bandwidth, offline and downloadable options are available for all core learning.
These models are designed to support diverse learning needs and teaching approaches. As we continue developing them, your feedback is invaluable. Contact us to discuss any of the models, share your thoughts, or explore how they might work in your context.
