Vince Dziekan Position Statement Monash University In response to the call to “address the emerging context, which acknowledges that in recent years, media and information-technology shifts have changed the cultural landscape of design and designing”, this paper will contribute to the discourse of design’s fluid interrelationship with cultural activity and production by focussing on the resulting formation of art, new technology and the design of its institutions. If art since the advent of Modernism can be characterized by any single quality it would have to be its diversity… however, across the breadth of such aesthetic and stylistic difference remains its common, primary destination: the Museum.

  • Continuing Professional Development for RMIT International University Vietnam Library Staff: Adding Value Through an International Partnership
    Asia-Pacific Conference Library & Information Education & Practice, 2011 Continuing Professional Development for RMIT International University Vietnam Library Staff: Adding Value through an International Partnership JULIA LEONG, [email protected] University Library, RMIT University LOC HUU NGUYEN, [email protected] Beanland Library, RMIT International University Vietnam ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to explore the effectiveness of blended learning – the fusion of face-to-face and online learning experiences – to implement an effective and culturally sensitive program of professional development in an Australian university working in a developing country. It sought insight into pertinent pedagogical approaches for staff development across multiple locations including across national boundaries. The project demonstrates how learners can develop new capabilities and approaches by building on existing skills and knowledge as they interact in communities of practice. The immediate purpose was to design and deliver a continuing professional education program to meet the needs of librarians working at RMIT International University Vietnam in the context of the demands of the academic community and in the light of the challenge library staff experienced in seeking to meet explicit and tacit expectations. The project ran from late January to mid December 2010. The research questions were: „Is blended learning effective as an approach to continuing professional development when working across cultures in a multinational organization?‘ and ‗What contribution do face-to-face and online components make to learning outcomes?‘ The methodology used was an action learning approach. A 2009 consultant's report into the RMIT Vietnam Library established professional developmental needs which were further detailed in February 2010 by the project leader from RMIT University, Melbourne using a skills audit.
