Conference Themes

The theme for the conference is Curriculum Transformation. The planning committee has endeavoured to capture the different drivers for curriculum transformation under four sub-themes.

Curriculum Transformation Drivers

• Exploring the impact of current higher education climate both nationally and internationally on curriculum innovation and management;
• Ensuring regulatory requirements (for example, the Higher Education Standards Framework) are being met.
• Exploring the future of curriculum transformation under government legislation and professional standards

Facilitating Curriculum Transformation

• Ensuring workforce capacity, capability and working patterns are aligned with change and innovation;
• Supporting staff to adjust and develop their course development, delivery and assessment practices by a flexible, fit-for-purpose Continuing Professional Development offer;
• Continually improving practice through evaluation, including the adoption of learning analytics;
• Building services for maximum educational advantage.

Putting it into Practice

• Transforming current good practice into systematically applied subject and course design principles exploring:
  • what we teach,
  • how we teach,
  • how we assess learning and support students

Students in Curriculum Transformation (Student Led Submissions preferred)

• Embracing students as changes agents, creating opportunities for students to provide the initiative, work alongside key institution stakeholders and lead change
