  • Leveraging Work-Integrated Learning Through On- Campus Employment: a University-Wide Approach
    Special Issue: Work Integrated Learning - Investing in the Future. Papers from the Australian Collaborative Education Network Annual Conference 2012 Leveraging work-integrated learning through on- campus employment: A university-wide approach GAON MITCHELL1 Victoria University, Melbourne, Australia JUDIE KAY RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia At Victoria University, Melbourne, Australia, the majority of students engage in paid employment alongside their studies; and, every student has the opportunity to engage with work-integrated learning as a key component of their academic course. This paper explores an innovative structured approach the university has initiated to align these two activities: the Students as Staff Program. The 2011 Students as Staff evaluation found that 20 per cent of respondents received academic credit for their on-campus employment and more indicated their roles were related to their discipline of study. Additionally, respondents reported feeling significantly engaged with the university and that work on campus had contributed to developing their graduate capabilities. These evaluation results indicate that on-campus employment through a structured program enhances student learning outcomes. This paper discusses key ways in which tertiary institutions can expand their capacity to support and enhance student learning and develop graduate capabilities through on-campus paid work opportunities. (Asia-Pacific Journal of Cooperative Education, 2013 14(3), 185- 193) Keywords: Work-integrated learning, Graduate capabilities, Part-time work, On-campus employment The employment of students on campus at Australian universities is not a new phenomenon, and indeed has been occurring for as long as universities have existed. Students working on campus results in a unique relationship between the student and the institution.

  • Transfer of Teaching Materials Between Universities Where Is the Boundary Between Legitimate Transaction and Violation of Moral Intellectual Property Rights?
    AUSTRALIAN UNIVERSITIES’ REVIEW OPINION Transfer of teaching materials between universities Where is the boundary between legitimate transaction and violation of moral intellectual property rights? Matthias Maiwald KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital, Singapore, and National University of Singapore Kathy Harrington National Tertiary Education Union, University of South Australia Branch, Adelaide, Australia Intellectual property rights have various facets. The best-known one is copyright, enabling the owner to legally utilise intellectual materials. However, there is a separate set of legal entitlements, termed moral intellectual property rights. The purpose of these is to prevent false attribution, damage to an author’s reputation and some forms of plagiarism. In the current example, a teaching curriculum was licensed by one Australian university to several others. While this is consistent with copyright ownership, the moral rights aspect was overlooked. Teaching materials had the names of the original authors removed and were used at the receiving institution either without attribution, or with sole attribution to the other set of staff. This constitutes a breach of authors’ moral rights and would also fulfil common definitions of plagiarism. Background and introduction Around 2006/07, it became known to academic staff at Flinders Medical School that the curriculum would be The Flinders University of South Australia’s School of licensed to other medical schools; the names of Deakin Uni- Medicine is a well-respected medical school within Aus- versity in Victoria, Griffith University in Queensland, and St. tralia.

They are where we forge our understanding of ourselves and the world around us – and our place in a forward-looking nation. Our universities educated more Australian students than ever before in 2019 – over one million Australian and 450,00 international students. Almost 340,000 students graduated that same year. Our universities offer courses in natural and physical sciences, information technology, engineering, architecture and building, agriculture and environmental studies, health, education, management and commerce, society and culture, creative arts and food hospitality and personal services. Universities are constantly adding new disciplines of study that reflect changes in industry, society and workplaces. Through them, they seek to prepare students for jobs that do not yet exist. Australia relies on our world-class university research to find solutions to the biggest challenges and to grasp the most promising opportunities. University expertise, ingenuity and innovation help to develop new industries and new jobs that will shape Australia’s future. Through collaborations with business, university researchers help them solve their toughest problems and bring their ideas to fruition. Through this research, education and community engagement, universities improve the lives of individuals, families, communities, and the nation. Thirty-nine outstanding universities are members of Universities Australia and this, the 2021 edition of University Profiles, is your guide to all of them.

  • Friday 2 March, 2018. 9.00Am-5.00Pm Minor Works Building 22 Stamford Court, Adelaide
    Laboratory Adelaide: Flinders University Friday 2 March, 2018. 9.00am-5.00pm Minor Works Building 22 Stamford Court, Adelaide. A summit on the value of culture and the arts. The research project "Laboratory Adelaide: The Value of Culture", now in its third and final year, has explored the problem culture faces proving its worth today. The core issue is that the concept of value itself has been distorted and dismembered by political and methodological forces over the last forty years. There is no quick, methodological fix to the problem of value. Instead, there is a need, across many sectors including and beyond culture, for a richer discussion of value. WHEN DID VALUE BECOME A NUMBER?
