Some good news for higher education in the mid-year budget. Our campaign for better universities is working – but there’s more to be done. Join with us to help keep the pressure on: https://t.co/kAFneB3fLc

MYEFO will fund an "independent expert" to work with Govt, @NTEUnion & AHEIA/@uniaus on #HigherEd employment relations; Dept of Edu will improve data on casuals/fixed-termers. Accord Final Report was cautious RE industrial rels, but saw a role for ATEC's Advisory Board

I'm in Ireland at the moment, with my 'I'm freezing; it's windy' expression (I'm having a blast) to write the book. I've been here for two weeks and there's been a lot of headway. 3 more weeks here, then four in London (to continue writing).

Proctorio just added new functionality to make AI proctoring even more invasive. There's a companion app students can be forced to install on their phones. They've added AI detection. They've added more video surveillance flags. They've added more browser flags. It's obscene! 💩

🌟 Watch the Recording of Our Insightful Workshop! 🌟

'Bridging the practice-theory in higher education using action research'

Did you miss our recent workshop on how communities and universities can work together to tackle complex social issues? Don't worry! You can now watch the recording.
As communities and universities seek to make a difference, they are increasingly encouraged and funded to collaborate. Ideally, this collaboration should bring diverse perspectives to create context-specific and purpose-driven actions. However, this isn't always the case, as communities often feel they are being 'done to' rather than being equal partners.

hot take(?) but as someone doing Y12 next year i reckon a lot of the stress around getting a certain ATAR result is really awful and unhealthy for teens

yes celebrate good results but idk it's a bit of a weird culture for something that may ultimately not have an impact at all

[James Bedford @james_s_bedford]

Oxford University has set up a hub for research into the area of AI in education. It will focus on a "research-informed and ethical approach" to AIED, and will work across the four pillars: design, regulation, implementation, and impact.

“Just as the national Government sets fees for domestic students, so too can it change those fees. Fairness can be restored,” said @ProfGWilliams.

Important intervention from the @westernsydneyu VC, calling for a reduction in soaring university fees. #auspol

"Like many test-takers of color, Yemi-Ese, who is Black, has spent the past three semesters using software that reliably struggles to locate his face. Now whenever he sits down to take an exam using Proctorio, he turns on every light in his bedroom..." #Proctorio 1/4

As Chancellor of a university it is a privilege and a pleasure to award degrees. But yesterday made my heart sing. As a blind person myself I awarded another blind person - Rebecca Markwell her law degree.

Congratulations Rebecca, you will go far.

[Bronwyn Fredericks @BronFredericks]

I spoke with Sarah Morice on ABC NewsRadio today about Peter Dutton’s comments concerning the Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander flags. Listen at https://t.co/QBDQCqtUMr, 10 December 2024 (8 mins).

[NTEU USQ Branch @NTEUUsq]

UniSQ senior mgmt finally admits to number of redundancies “at least 150” = 10% current workforce. Huge impact for these families & local rural /regional communities just before 🎄😡
