The sudden transition to the virtual environment during COVID-19 presented significant challenges for paramedic academics teaching subjects focussed on the practical application of clinical skills. To overcome barriers arising from lack of access to equipment and perceived barriers relating to student bias towards kinaesthetic learning, academics developed an innovative new style of online practicals. ‘Puppet Master’ practicals were facilitated by the academic using equipment and manikins. The scenario was staged and students ‘ran the call’ in real time using the academic as the puppet to perform tasks under their instruct...

I wanted this approach to be more than simply the setting of exercises that have a binary right/wrong solution. My intention was rather to have the students engage in a continuous improvement cycle. I gave students a programming problem to solve and a limited amount of time to do so. The Zoom session was paused while they programmed their solutions. When the allotted time was up, we reconvened and students were encouraged to do a voluntary ‘show and tell’. I th...

Producing high-quality learning experiences for Charles Sturt students and staff is a core part of our work (Lewitzky, 2020; Nichols Hess, 2020), as such we have cultivated teaching skills through a variety of avenues. We develop our skills through a broad program of internal professional development and ongoing informal and formal learning experiences. This includes an innovative scheme to progress our capabilities via a peer-to-peer training program. Other elements involve reflecting on our experience in an annual peer coaching exercise and regular community of practice sessions.

It is the only blended offering of a speech pathology degree in Australia where students graduate with eligibility to join Speech Pathology Australia (SPA).

The BIT has three Cisco subjects that integrate the Cisco Certificated Network Associate (CCNA) program for better career prospects. CCNA is an IT certification with high-grade industry recognition provided by Cisco, a worldwide leading corporation in networking. It not only provides knowledge and skills but also offers better job opportunities. However, online teaching is challenging in that facilitating and supporting interaction and relationship development is hard. I believe that learning is a dynamic and life-long developing process. Learning should be collaborative and interactive...

This is particularly important in the health and law professions where clients are often dealing with high stakes and need to be able to trust the advice they receive. In many cases, clients will arrive with information they have already garnered from various sources. A well-trained professional must confidently address possible misinformation and misunderstandings while providing a firm foundation of evidence to support their response.
