What is the Context?
2014 NMC Technology Outlook for Australian Tertiary Education
Expectations
UWS Graduate Attributesn Commands multiple skills and literacies
to enable adaptable lifelong learning
n Demonstrates knowledge of Indigenous Australia through cultural competency and professional capacity
n Demonstrates comprehensive, coherent and connected knowledge
n Applies knowledge through intellectual inquiry in professional or applied contexts
n Brings knowledge to life through responsible engagement and appreciation of diversity in an evolving world
10
Deconstructing Blended Learning
Blended LearningnThe blurring of face-to-face
learning and teaching and online learning is a significant shift for both learners and staff of universities.
nThis disintegration of the distinction and the growing acceptance that learning occurs in different ‘places’ presents both exciting and challenging opportunities for higher education.
12
Flexible learningnFlexible learning”
provides opportunities to improve the student learning experience through flexibility in time, pace, place, mode of study, teaching approach, forms of assessment and staffing.
13
Blended & Flexible LearningnBlended and flexible
learning” is a design approach that examines the relationships between flexible learning opportunities, in order to optimise student engagement.(Keppell, 2010, p. 3;Garrison & Vaughan, 2008).

Example
25
Interactive learning (learner-to-content)
Networked learning (learner-to-learner; learner-to-teacher)
Student-generated content (learner-as-designers).
Connected students (knowledge is in the network)
Learning-oriented assessment (assessment-as-learning) (Keppell, 2014).
Interactions
Learning Design PrinciplesnMake explicit links to
the Maths and Science Australian Curriculum
nConsider the relationship of the content to years 7 & 8 and years 11 & 12.
nFocus on authentic learning
29
Learning Design Principles
nDesign interactive sessions that engage learners through:
nInteractive learning nNetworked learning nUser-generated content nConnecting online nLearning-oriented assessment.
30
Teaching PrinciplesnMake all interactive sessions
learning centred. nCreate a partnership with
your learners. nConnect with parents, other
teachers and learners as learning is a community activity.
nMotivate and inspire learners to engage with Maths and Science.
31
Change Management

Distributive LeadershipnCharacteristics: collaboration, shared purpose, responsibility and recognition of leadership irrespective of role within an organisation.
nCentral premise: good leadership is foundational to good learning and teaching practice.

Open Educational Resources
Changing Mindsets
!
Design thinking by its nature is strategic and future focussed. !
It is a thoughtful and considered pedagogical approach to ensure relevance for both learners and teachers.
25
Interactive learning (learner-to-content)
Networked learning (learner-to-learner; learner-to-teacher)
Student-generated content (learner-as-designers).
Connected students (knowledge is in the network)
Learning-oriented assessment (assessment-as-learning) (Keppell, 2014).
Teacher Mindsets
25
Digital literacies (competencies, fluency, design)
Seamless learning (formal, informal, F2F, blended, online, mobile)
Self-regulated learning (scaffolded, strategic, autonomous)
Learning-oriented assessment (authentic, negotiated, self-assessment)
Life-long learning (short-term, figure-focussed, being a learner)
Learning pathways (prescribed, electives, open) (Keppell, 2015 in-press)
Learner Mindsets
Institutional MindsetsnEncouraging teacher and
learner mindsets
nFocussing on blending a the degree level
nEmbracing blended learning throughout all learning and teaching and assessment
nUtilising distributive leadership to create strategic change
