As I'm sure you're aware, this is a complex area: learning and teaching practice inside Universities is increasingly intertwined with policy developments nationally, and with the expanding horizon of technological possibilities and the changing needs of our students. At the same time, we need a space to reflect on our own ambitions in this complex environment, to celebrate our achievements, and to reflect back to ourselves those things that make us distinctive as a learning institution.

Professor Boud is interested in how people learn and what can be done to foster their learning. This has taken him to a variety of settings in adult, higher and professional education and prompted an examination of many practices and processes. In recent years this has ranged from new forms of curriculum design (problem-based learning, negotiated learning and work-based learning) to learning practices (use of reflection, reciprocal peer learning) and assessment (self-assessment, sustainable assessment). http://www4.gu.edu.au/ltn_media/Issue_03_David_Boud.mp3 Fri, 2 Jun 2006 12:00:00 +1000 8:45 foster, learning, curriculum, peer Professor Erica McWilliam Recent educational scholarship draws attention to problems that arise for young people when performance goals are pursued to the exclusion of learning goals. Recent educational scholarship draws attention to problems that arise for young people when performance goals are pursued to the exclusion of learning goals. This flies in the face of the idea that learning and performing are a neat complementary set. Erica McWilliam's presentation explores the links between learning, 'unlearning' and performance, using ideas about pedagogy that are in many respects counterintuitive. This includes challenging the idea that good teachers provide clear explanations, minimise errors and pay close personal attention to their students. http://www4.gu.edu.au/ltn_media/Issue_03_Erica_McWilliam.mp3 Fri, 2 Jun 2006 12:00:00 +1000 1:01:22 scholarship, learning, goals, unlearning, pedagogy, teachers Professor Wayne Hudson Griffith University was a major sponsor of the 2006 Ideas Festival, a four day festival of ideas, innovation and invention, held at South Bank from 29 March - 2 April 2006. Griffith University was a major sponsor of the 2006 Ideas Festival, a four day festival of ideas, innovation and invention, held at South Bank from 29 March - 2 April 2006. The Vice Chancellor, Professor Ian O'Connor noted that "the Ideas Festival promotes Queensland, locally, nationally and internationally as being future driven, innovative, diverse and forward thinking. Griffith University sees the Festival as a wonderful opportunity to showcase Queensland's world-class thinkers and researchers". On Thursday 30 Professor Wayne Hudson participated in a discussion entitle Ode to Mrs Pugsley - about what makes a good teacher. Ode to Mrs Pugsley - That dream thing, that one good guide, that person who pushes, challenges and changes your life. What makes a good teacher? Tim Goodwin, Wayne Hudson, Allan Luke and Larissa Behrendt wonder who the future guides are and what we will learn. http://www4.gu.edu.au/ltn_media/Issue_03_Ideas_Festival_06.mp3 Fri, 2 Jun 2006 12:00:00 +1000 50:01 innovation, invention, teachers, future, research Associate Professor Stephen Billett The second in a series of three discussion on workplace learning. In this dialogue, the second in a series of three discussion on workplace learning, Stephen Billett discusses how, having proposed that the workplace can be a legitimate learning environment, it is important to establish the bases by which people learn to work, thereby opening up the prospects for distinct pedagogies and curriculum concepts associated with workplaces as learning environments. http://www4.gu.edu.au/ltn_media/Issue_03_Billett_Jenkins.mp3 Fri, 2 Jun 2006 12:00:00 +1000 6:42 workplace, learning, environment, pedagogies Professor Jonty Stockdale Free Improvisation - thought by many to be a rarefied and abstract art form - is simply misunderstood. Free Improvisation - thought by many to be a rarefied and abstract art form - is simply misunderstood. Drawing on perspectives from within and beyond the boundaries of music, this presentation will examine a musical practice often perceived as self-indulgent, impulsive, wayward and chaotic. By the very nature of it, can an approach be developed for improvising in a free manner? Is free improvisation the same as jazz improvisation? Is the act of improvising really about 'making things up on the spur of the moment'? http://www4.gu.edu.au/ltn_media/Issue_03_Jonty_Stockdale.mp3 Fri, 2 Jun 2006 12:00:00 +1000 1:13:40 improvisation, teaching Associate Professor Stephen Billett The first in a series of three discussion on workplace learning. In the first of a series of interviews about learning in the workplace, Cathy Jenkins talks with Stephen Billett about Legitimising workplaces as sites for learning. Given the likely strong acceptance, particularly by educators that teaching and learning are synonymous, and therefore that learning outside of intentional taught activities is likely to be piecemeal, ad hoc, or generally poor, it is necessary to consider issues that might constitute the workplace being taken as a legitimate learning environment. http://www4.gu.edu.au/ltn_media/Issue_02_Billett_Jenkins.mp3 Fri, 3 Feb 2006 12:00:00 +1000 11:42 workplace, learning, education, teaching, environment Professor Paul Turnbull Griffith's E-learning strategy and the imperative for universities to meet the needs of an emerging highly 'technology literate' student body.
