The sharing of library resources and services is the modern trend of library development in the world. OCLC has been taking this as its mission and done great works in leading the libraries to link people and knowledge together. We are very much in favor of that and hope that will lead as always OCLC Chinese members to actively participate in any kinds of sharing projects to promote and contribute to OCLC global cooperation. Tsinghua University Library has a long cooperation history with OCLC. As the first partner of OCLC in Mainland China, Tsinghua University Library has been the organizer of OCLC Electronic Resource Consortia in China. The OCLC Service Center, established in Tsinghua University in 1996, has been providing high-quality services for domestic university library users. OCLC Chinese members have grown from first dozen to today’s 150. Tsinghua University Library will further strengthen cooperation with OCLC, and will do our best to promote OCLC products and services in China. At the same time, we will provide OCLC immediate feedback of comments and suggestions from OCLC Chinese members about the OCLC organization and its products, to make better development of OCLC and its products in Mainland China.

    MANAGING MULTIPLE MODES: IEAA PATHWAYS NETWORK CONVERSATION Friday 16 July 2021 FORUM WELCOME 2pm (AEST) Andrew Foley Convener, IEAA Pathways Network; College Director and Principal, La Trobe College SESSION 1A 2:05pm (AEST) DITCHING THE DISRUPTION – PROVIDING AN INNOVATIVE FLEXIBLE SOLUTION TO SUPPORT A HIGH-QUALITY STUDENT EXPERIENCE Student flexibility is integral in pathway programs where uncertainty still rules the day. Flexible Learning, a new learning and teaching delivery model, was implemented across the Navitas University Partnership Australasia (UPA) Division. This innovative and practical strategy enables students to commence or continue studies and to pivot to online or on-campus when needed. Flexible Learning – adapted from Beatty’s HyFlex model – offers students genuine flexibility in their learning experience while ensuring minimal disruption to classes at a time when on-campus classes may no longer be guaranteed. This presentation will discuss the implementation of the Flexible Learning model, including the educational technologies and professional development program designed to support staff in the redevelopment of their units. The session will also explore the value proposition for pathway providers and the challenges and learning opportunities experienced with learning and teaching when implementing at scale. The presenter will share feedback gathered from research and evaluation of the Flexible Learning model as well as best practice case studies.
