Supporting academic staff in new learning contexts

PDF

Abstract

A specialist support team is working with academics to design online learning experiences for Open Universities Australia. Delivery to a cohort of students with needs and backgrounds different from traditional university students, and with timeframes and administrative structures that often conflict with familiar practice, raises challenges beyond those normally faced in online education. This poster describes some of the solutions that have been put in place and outlines a framework for an ongoing evaluative study.
