Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
One outcome of Project EnROLE, an ALTC project to encourage uptake of online role play, is a refined learning design for simulation: Simulation Triad. The triad represents design decisions according to emphasis placed on Roles versus Problems versus Rules.
Online Education Program For Transitioning Students, Lynda Cooper
Online Education Program For Transitioning Students, Lynda Cooper
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
Preliminary findings from research into the information skills of students transitioning into a university educational environment indicate divergence between confidence and ability. A small group of librarians from the University of Wollongong are researching better ways to support new undergraduate students starting tertiary studies. A literature review examining best practice around the world provided a starting point for the research journey. Other approaches used include: creating an online survey to assess new student skills at enrolment; hosting a seminar for teacher librarians from the local Wollongong area and Sutherland Shire to provide an opportunity for information sharing; mapping information requirements …
Scoping A Distributed Leadership Matrix For Higher Education, Sandra Jones, Ann Applebee, Marina Harvey, Geraldine E. Lefoe
Scoping A Distributed Leadership Matrix For Higher Education, Sandra Jones, Ann Applebee, Marina Harvey, Geraldine E. Lefoe
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
While there has been significant research into the theory and practice of distributed leadership in the school system, there has been less research into its applicability into higher education. This is somewhat surprising given the pressure on universities to reshape their governance models to accommodate a more competitive business environment as education becomes an important contributor to national economies. It is also interesting that, despite resistance from academics to the more ‘enterprise-based’ approach to shaping university leadership, there has not been a focus on a distributed leadership model that appears to accommodate the need for the autonomy that underpins academic …
The New Outsiders: Adhd And Disadvantage, Valerie Harwood
The New Outsiders: Adhd And Disadvantage, Valerie Harwood
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
Recent research has pointed to the uneven distribution of diagnoses of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, with disproportionately high numbers in areas marked by poverty (Gifford Sawyer et al., 2004; Olfsen et al., 2003). This chapter examines this issue of ADHD and social and economic disadvantage. Drawing on research with youth professionals from some of the most disadvantaged communities in Australia, the chapter puts forward the case that the ADHD phenomenon has highly problematic effects on the lives of children and young people in these communities. The intent is to show how the ADHD phenomenon interacts with disadvantage, and suggest how …

The author identifies key factors that have contributed to Research Online’s success and identifies hands-on strategies for attendees to take back to their home institution.
Leveraging Research Quality Assessment Exercises To Increase Repository Content - An Australian Case Study, Michael K. Organ
Leveraging Research Quality Assessment Exercises To Increase Repository Content - An Australian Case Study, Michael K. Organ
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
The legacy of Australia’s national research quality assessment process – Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) - at the University of Wollongong during 2010 was improved integration between the institutional repository and research management systems, and a move towards digitisation of the Higher Education Research Data Collection (HERDC) with consequent flow-on of metadata and digital objects to the institutional repository. Whilst ERA was a diversion from the task of securing open access content through faculty promotion and one-on-one contact with researchers, it nevertheless gave rise to a semi-automated process which promised improved rates of content acquisition.
Digital Integrity And The Teaching/Learning Nexus: Taking The Pedagogical Pulse Of The Multi-Location University., Jeannette Stirling, Kerryn Hopkins, Brendan Riddick
Digital Integrity And The Teaching/Learning Nexus: Taking The Pedagogical Pulse Of The Multi-Location University., Jeannette Stirling, Kerryn Hopkins, Brendan Riddick
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
This case study considers questions of pedagogical and educational integrity in relation to multi-location or distributed learning environments that deploy blended learning models. Specifically, we engage with the implications of these models in light of recommendations that Australian universities continue to improve access for students from low socio-economic backgrounds and other identified equity groups. We provide an overview of the critical success factors germane to the implementation of these models at the University of Wollongong in 2000 and examine some of the pressure points that have emerged as the project expands into 2010.
Using Demo To Evaluate And Enhance Schools Outreach Programs: An Example From The South Coast Of New South Wales, Kylie Austin, Jennifer Heath
Using Demo To Evaluate And Enhance Schools Outreach Programs: An Example From The South Coast Of New South Wales, Kylie Austin, Jennifer Heath
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
The Design and Evaluation Matrix for Outreach (DEMO) was formulated from the research in the 'Interventions early in schools as a means to improve higher education outcomes for disadvantaged students', commissioned by the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations. DEMO is used to evaluate the University of Wollongong (UOW) and Department of Education and Training (DET) Year 10 Connect and Explore schools outreach program. The original version of this program was enhanced following frank evaluation by both partners - the University and liaisons from each of the secondary schools involved. The revised program combines aspects across four key strategies …
Utilizing Students' Own Mobile Devices And Rich Media: Two Case Studies From The Health Sciences, Trish Andrews, Robyn Smyth, R. Caladine
Utilizing Students' Own Mobile Devices And Rich Media: Two Case Studies From The Health Sciences, Trish Andrews, Robyn Smyth, R. Caladine
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
The rapid proliferation of mobile devices nationally coupled with high levels of individual ownership both nationally and internationally provide many opportunities for exploring ways in which students own mobile devices might be integrated into teaching and learning activities in higher education. Amongst other benefits, mobile learning is seen as providing considerable opportunities to link formal and informal learning across a range of educational contexts. Equally, rich media such as vodcasts (video podcasts) and videoconferencing are increasingly seen as supporting a range of teaching and learning activities, particularly in distance learning situations. This paper describes two case studies that explored the …

As often happens, I found myself turning to the Oxford Dictionary when trying to start writing this article. That venerable tome defines a profession as, among other things, "a body of people engaged in a particular profession". A professional association, then, is nothing more or less than a group of those professionals engaged in somehow furthering, advancing, or representing both profession and professionals. I think.
A Simulation For Content-Based And Utility-Based Recommendation Of Candidate Coalitions In Virtual Creativity Teams, Rory L. Sie, Marlies Bitter-Rijpkema, Peter Sloep
A Simulation For Content-Based And Utility-Based Recommendation Of Candidate Coalitions In Virtual Creativity Teams, Rory L. Sie, Marlies Bitter-Rijpkema, Peter Sloep
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
Psychological literature shows that people do not always make rational choices with respect to whom to collaborate with. Providing the value of candidate connections may help them choosing the right people to connect with in a network. This paper presents a model about coalitions in creativity that will be used to generate content-based and knowledge-based recommendations of candidate coalitions.

Coalition Formation In Networked Innovation: Directions For Future Research, Rory L. Sie, Marlies Bitter-Rijpkema, Peter Sloep
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
During the last several decades, we see a tendency towards openly distributed knowledge. Whereas we experienced an open source movement in the 80's, we now see that open learning and open innovation have become popular. Akin to open source code encouraging transformational creativity (Boden, 2004), open or networked innovation may lead to more effective organisational learning (Sloep, 2009a). This process of open knowledge exchange involves short time commitments, similar to those in Ad-Hoc Transient Communities (AHTC). We would like to pose a new view on the interpersonal ties in networked innovation, that is, the view of interpersonal ties as coalitions. …
Enhancing Learning Through Strategies Lecturers Use: A Snapshot Of Students' Learning At A Satellite Campus, Joanne Dearlove, Jennifer Rowley
Enhancing Learning Through Strategies Lecturers Use: A Snapshot Of Students' Learning At A Satellite Campus, Joanne Dearlove, Jennifer Rowley
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
This study sought to investigate undergraduate Education and Commerce students’ perceptions of learning within a distributed learning environment at the Loftus Education Centre (LEC), University of Wollongong (UOW). The LEC was established in 2003 as part of a distributed learning environment comprising regional campuses and centres to enable UOW to deliver tertiary education opportunities to regional students. It offers both undergraduate and post-graduate degrees. The distance of Loftus from the hub campus requires that, for reasons of economy and efficiency, studies often involve a blended learning approach. Also, the campus is small in size (an enrolment of 286 in 2009), …
Mobile Asylums: Psychopathologisation As A Personal, Portable Psychiatric Prison, Valerie Harwood
Mobile Asylums: Psychopathologisation As A Personal, Portable Psychiatric Prison, Valerie Harwood
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
Psychopathologisation, broadly understood as processes that lead to the effects of being psychopatholigised, can have considerable consequences for isolating students from education. This can be especially the case for children and young people affected by the racialization of behaviour and/or socio-economic disadvantage. Drawing on Foucault’s analysis of the relationship between the psychiatrist and the asylum in his lectures ‘Psychiatric Power’, the argument is made that these effects can be tantamount to being institutionalised in a mobile asylum. Portrayal of the asylum in the American television series House MD is used to highlight how, if we rely on classic depictions of …
Creativiteit En Coalitievorming, Rory L. Sie
Creativiteit En Coalitievorming, Rory L. Sie
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
Creativiteit gebruiken we allemaal, de een wat meer dan de ander. Je hoeft je maar te vervelen, en je gaat al op zoek naar nieuwe activiteiten. Je bedenkt mogelijke activiteiten en kiest de beste; je bent dus creatief bezig. Onderwijl leer je allerlei nieuwe dingen. Dat doe je door bestaande kennis, die je dus soms eerst moet verwerven, te combineren. Dit wordt de psychologische P-creativiteit genoemd[1]. Of je kunt totaal nieuwe, innoverende dingen bedenken waar nog nooit iemand eerder op is gekomen, de historische H-creativiteit[1].
