LG SIG July Webinar

This webinar will commence with an in-depth look at the Digital Critical Student Partnership Learning Design (LD) model drawing upon (Dianati 2023; 2024), a framework that fosters meaningful collaboration between students and educators through digital platforms. In doing so, it provides an audit and benchmark of student partnerships and LD across 39 universities to offer insight into best practices and current uptake. Following this, we will delve into an Australian-first initiative: an Indigenous student partnership program tailored specifically to learning design. This pioneering program not only integrates traditional Indigenous knowledge systems into contemporary curricula but also enhances digital and e-learning pedagogies through culturally inclusive practices. Discover how these innovative models are reshaping educational experiences and outcomes across the country.
