Podcast Description
This newsletter will keep you up to date with developments in learning and teaching inside and outside the University. As I'm sure you're aware, this is a complex area: learning and teaching practice inside Universities is increasingly intertwined with policy developments nationally, and with the expanding horizon of technological possibilities and the changing needs of our students. At the same time, we need a space to reflect on our own ambitions in this complex environment, to celebrate our achievements, and to reflect back to ourselves those things that make us distinctive as a learning institution.

In recent years this has ranged from new forms of curriculum design (problem-based learning, negotiated learning and work-based learning) to learning practices (use of reflection, reciprocal peer learning) and assessment (self-assessment, sustainable assessment). | 6/1/06 | Free | View In iTunes |

Professor Erica McWilliam, Assistant Dean Research, Faculty of Education, QUT presents a twilight lecture on Unlearning Perform | Recent educational scholarship draws attention to problems that arise for young people when performance goals are pursued to the exclusion of learning goals. This flies in the face of the idea that learning and performing are a neat complementary set. Erica McWilliam's presentation explores the links between learning, 'unlearning' and performance, using ideas about pedagogy that are in many respects counterintuitive. This includes challenging the idea that good teachers provide clear explanations, minimise errors and pay close personal attention to their students. | 6/1/06 | Free | View In iTunes |

Professor Jonty Stockdale lecture on Understanding and Developing Approaches to Free Improvisation | Free Improvisation - thought by many to be a rarefied and abstract art form - is simply misunderstood. Drawing on perspectives from within and beyond the boundaries of music, this presentation will examine a musical practice often perceived as self-indulgent, impulsive, wayward and chaotic. By the very nature of it, can an approach be developed for improvising in a free manner? Is free improvisation the same as jazz improvisation? Is the act of improvising really about 'making things up on the spur of the moment'? | 6/1/06 | Free | View In iTunes |

Cathy Jenkins talks with Associate Professor Stephen Billett about legitimising workplaces as sites for learning | In the first of a series of interviews about learning in the workplace, Cathy Jenkins talks with Stephen Billett about Legitimising workplaces as sites for learning. Given the likely strong acceptance, particularly by educators that teaching and learning are synonymous, and therefore that learning outside of intentional taught activities is likely to be piecemeal, ad hoc, or generally poor, it is necessary to consider issues that might constitute the workplace being taken as a legitimate learning environment. | 2/2/06 | Free | View In iTunes |
