UQ’s willingness to back innovative ideas and respond to opportunities that align with its strategic objectives is fundamental to its success. Use of a strategic initiatives fund to leverage external support has harnessed considerable philanthropic and government funding for a string of signifi cant new developments over the past decade.

Increased fl exibility in delivering learning material is expected to further enhance the student learning experience at UQ. The Phoenix project is a major network improvement project rolling out wireless network access across UQ’s campuses. It will increase the ability of students and staff to access University resources with greater fl exibility. UQ is developing a consistent online presence across all undergraduate and postgraduate courses. As a fi rst step, fi rst, second and third-year undergraduate courses will have a minimum presence in BlackBoard, including, for example, announcements and links to electronic course profi les. Blackboard courses will be viewable by staff and students to encourage the sharing of best practice in teaching and learning. Faculties have received central support to appoint eLearning support staff to assist. UQ is supporting an open educational resources (OER) initiative, Building Toward Open Scholarship, which is intended to support curriculum reform and renewal and greater student and staff engagement to create learning material that can be renewed through an ongoing sustainable process. OER’s intent is to share digital knowledge and contribute to the global body of open scholarly materials.

32 THE UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND ANNUAL REPORT 2010 Sustainability In 2010, UQ introduced a postgraduate suite of programs in sustainable systems, designed to recognise that innovative approaches are required to develop and manage resources and businesses within increasing physical limits.

Member companies receive support and guidance from ilab’s experienced team and a network of successful entrepreneurs and industry experts who provide pro-bono mentoring. ilab was initiated in 2000 by the Queensland Government, which continues to fi nancially support it. In late 2009, UQ took over ownership of ilab to: – enhance its ability to engage with private sector start-up companies and the investment community; – leverage UQ’s intellectual and physical resources to help create more successful technology-based businesses in Queensland; and – encourage and support student entrepreneurship. ilab has had a student intern program in place for some years and will expand it to provide more UQ students with opportunities to work directly with fast- growth start-up companies. ilab extends UQ’s technology commercialisation capabilities and works alongside UQ commercialisation companies to identify start-up companies that would benefi t from being supported by the incubator.

The Social Sciences and Humanities Library transformed its level one space into a new learning environment for students, known as The Hive. The facility provides a range of group discussion facilities and rapidly became one of the Library’s busiest areas. The Library continued to invest in electronic content and pursued an intensive digitisation program, opening its special collections to a wider research audience. The Library launched a new prospectus for academic staff, articulating its support for scholarly activities. Library staff provided support for the fi rst round of Excellence in Research Australia and developed its research output and impact website to assist UQ researchers with issues such as research impact, citation analysis, journal rankings and research metrics. The Library developed a substantial new online exhibition, A signifi cant woman of her time, to pay tribute to one of Australia’s most important sculptors, Daphne Mayo. As part of the centenary celebrations, the Library brought together more than 30 writers, including David Malouf and Janette Turner Hospital, in The Writers’ Hub, a series of presentations, in-conversation sessions, panel discussions and readings. On the centenary alumni reunion weekend, 400 current and former staff gathered to celebrate the Library’s centenary and the launch of The University of Queensland Library: A Centenary History 1910-2010, by John East. The Library produced a signifi cant book, Found in Fryer: Stories from the Fryer Library Collection, showcasing 100 of its treasures. Research for the publication shed further light on some rare, possibly unique items in the Fryer collection.
