'Are We There Yet?' Revisiting The Digital Education Revolution, Kathryn Moyle Dec 2014

'Are We There Yet?' Revisiting The Digital Education Revolution, Kathryn Moyle

Professor Kathryn Moyle

The directions being promoted in the Australian Curriculum in relation to teaching and learning with technologies, have been dated and out of kilter with directions being taken overseas, including Australia's near neighbours of Singapore, Hong Kong, the Republic of Korea and New Zealand (Moyle, 2015). But the Australian Curriculum does build upon a spasmodic history in Australian school education of incorporating technologies into students' learning at school. This paper provides a summary of the peaks and troughs that can be seen in this spasmodic history, by using the $2.027 billion, Digital Education Revolution (DER) as a landmark policy from which …

Using Social Media As A Tool For Learning: A Multi-Disciplinary Study, Julie A. Delello, Rochell R. Mcwhorter, Kerri M. Camp Dec 2014

Using Social Media As A Tool For Learning: A Multi-Disciplinary Study, Julie A. Delello, Rochell R. Mcwhorter, Kerri M. Camp

Rochell McWhorter

In order to explore the rich dynamics of using social media as a tool for learning within higher education classrooms, researchers across three disciplines: education, human resource development (HRD), and marketing, joined forces seeking ways to focus on learning through a retrospective analysis. Three concepts—engagement, community building, and personal meaning formed the framework for this study and were utilized to analyze the themes that emerged from student reflections. This study used an exploratory mixed-method approach involving seven social media platforms: Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, Second Life, and Skype. The research is unique because it not only looks at how …

Wake Up Or Perish: Neo-Liberalism, The Social Sciences, And Salvaging The Public University, Dariusz Jemielniak Dec 2014

Wake Up Or Perish: Neo-Liberalism, The Social Sciences, And Salvaging The Public University, Dariusz Jemielniak

Dariusz Jemielniak

Higher education around the world is currently undergoing a neo-liberal administrative takeover. The drive to reduce costs and increased bureaucratization do not serve any other purpose than increasing the power of the universities’ administration. The reasons for allowing this situation to happen are related to scholars’ inertia and subscribing to a belief that academia can and should be impractical. As a result, the emerging corporate university, McDonaldized model relies increasingly on contingent and deskilled faculty, effectively eliminating the traditional academic freedoms. We conclude with suggestions for possible courses of action to make a constructive counter-movement to the radical changes taking …
