@ProfBevOliver is opening VU’s 2021 L&T Symposium with a provocative keynote: Micro-credentials are all the buzz, but do they live up to the hype? #VULTSYMP@trilia She counsels “we don’t need micro-credentials we need pathways to success” Learn more at https://t.co/fJ7RhfbX4q
"Education is our most powerful weapon" said by Nelson Mandela and reiterated by our Interim Provost Corinne Reid #VULTSymp@victoriauninews@connected reflecting on how VU walks the walk with its values: Welcoming, Ethical, Shaping the future and Together.
#VULTSymp Pashsaar Halteh from VU online describes "humble inquiry", taking time to get to know students personal interests and how this sets the scene for learning for everyone. Even more important in the fully online environment. @Chris__Walsh@ConnectedVU
Blown away #VULTSymp by the amazing music from the VE and HE students produced during lockdown. @victoriauninews@ConnectedVU Find talented student Daniel Bukuru on spotify.
I'm in a lightning round #VULTSymp and so far I have heard presentations from colleagues in Sydney, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and China! I am loving the connection with my VU peers! @victoriauninews@ConnectedVU
@omidsianaki#VULTSymp explains how he used connectivist theory to design a live international debate on Linkedin between his students in India and his students in Sydney. Students loved it and achieved their learning outcomes. @ConnectedVU I want do do this assessment task!
There is focus on assessment here #VULTSymp The bachelor of paramedicine is using clinical interview viva voces through zoom instead of exams. These are both authentic and valid - great stuff Ashleigh Finn and @ConnectedVU !
Hearing about the #worldwideblockuniversity at #VULTsymp, academics co-teaching across block universities in different countries with students collaborating on projects together in #blockmode
More gold from @phillipdawson#VULTSymp: Learn to de-fang feedback you receive and teach students to de-fang it too, scaffold students to receive and act on feedback the may receive in work and life @ConnectedVU
@phillipdawson on feedback: "I try to give comments that don't breed dependence" encouraging students to self-assess, in fact "if students haven't self-assessed the task isn't complete" requiring opportunities for this in subject/assessment design #VULTSymp@ConnectedVU
@phillipdawson discusses authentic feedback, an idea similar to authentic assessment, that feedback practices in education should mimic feedback practices in the profession (at least sometimes) #VULTsymp@ConnectedVU
Effective feedback required effect says @phillipdawson. Lots of good comments are only a wasted weekend if students can't doing anything with that feedback information #VULTSymp@ConnectedVU
Karen Jackson Associate Provost Indigenous @victoriauninews starts the day #VULTsymp acknowledging country, the ongoing effect and trauma of the decision of terra nullius and challenges our talented academics/staff to engage with Moondani Balluk make our own acknowledgments.
