The Australian National University We are delighted to welcome you to a joint initiative of the ANU College of Asia and the Pacific and the ANU College of Arts and Social Sciences: the CAP/CASS Innovation in Teaching Showcase, 2018.
The CAP/CASS Innovation in Teaching Showcase is a collaborative event between both of our Colleges and is a forum for exploration of a variety of academic ideas, stimulating panel discussions and workshops, and a practical showcase of some of the innovative technologies used in both of our Colleges’ course work.
This year’s Showcase will highlight the innovative uses of technologies in our teaching, celebrate the great achievements of 2018 with our language courses being taught online, and facilitate further professional development and discussion in order to benefit the pedagogical practices of our staff, which will, in turn, be of subsequent benefit to our students.
We will present on such topics as: >> Online Lecturing and Online Language teaching >> Virtual Reality >> Artificial Intelligence
We will also demonstrate different educational software.
The School of Music and School of Art and Design presentations will demonstrate the vibrant and stimulating curriculum currently being undertaken in these schools which nurture and develop our talented students to reach their maximum potential. The School of Music will highlight the composition and recording opportunities now available at ANU.
There will also be a focus on the technologies used in a range of courses, including the online teaching of Languages from our neighbouring countries in the Asia and Pacific regions. Our Colleges are undertaking a number of projects in Online Language courses, and in 2019 ANU will be launching the first fully Online Language course in Tok Pisin (one of the most widely used languages of the indigenous population of Papua New Guinea).
Thank you for attending this event. We welcome you to ANU, and trust that you will gain many valuable insights, observations and experiences from your participation in this year’s Showcase.

Recognition and Accreditation of University Teachers
What kind of formal accreditation might be required for university teachers, over and above a PhD? Is it enough to recognise the teaching capabilities of individuals through the promotion process? How might fellowships such as those offered by the Higher Education Academy (HEA) or the professional association Higher Education Research and Development Society of Australasia (HERDSA) contribute? Four experts discuss the current landscape of recognition and accreditation for university teachers.
