The theme for CSUed 2017 is ‘quality learning and teaching – transforming our teaching on campus and online’.
The focus is on building capacity in students, staff and communities through integrating CSU values into teaching practice, creating a distinctive student experience through implementing the university’s graduate learning outcomes, and transforming the experience of both online and on campus students.
The program will commence with a workshop on embedding sustainability practices into courses and finish with a discussion on creating distinctive learning content and experiences.
Over three days, the forum will cover a range of topics including how to take advantage of digital resources to improve teaching, respond better and more quickly to feedback and analyse results; how to make sure the characteristics identified as being ‘typical’ of a CSU graduate are developed in every graduate; how to modify teaching to meet the needs of students with different backgrounds and levels of preparation; how to ensure students have a great university experience regardless of whether they are learning entirely in the online environment or on campus, or a mixture of both.
Integration of CSU values identified in the university’s recently updated strategy – insightful, inclusive, impactful and inspiring – will be a key focus throughout the forum.
CSUed is a valuable opportunity for staff to meet face-to-face to share experiences, new knowledge and innovative practice.
