MissionOur mission is to transform practice across the faculties and PAVE by inspiring, enabling and empowering teaching staff to develop capacity and capability in innovative teaching and learning.
12
ActivitiesWe work collaboratively with learning and teaching staff through a range of activities to achieve this mission:
Learning design workshopsBlended and online learningAuthentic assessmentSeminars, events, and showcasing emerging
technologies in the Digital AquariumGraduate Certificate of Learning and TeachingScholarship of Teaching and LearningTransforming Learning ConferencePromoting personalised learning through ePortfolios

•The blurring of face-to-face learning and teaching and online learning is a significant shift for both learners and staff of universities.
•This disintegration of the distinction and the growing acceptance that learning occurs in different ‘places’ presents both exciting and challenging opportunities for higher education.
15
Blended Learning
•Flexible learning provides opportunities to improve the student learning experience through flexibility in time, pace, place, mode of study, teaching approach, forms of assessment and staffing.
16
Flexible Learning
•Blended and flexible learning is a design approach that examines the relationships between flexible learning opportunities, in order to optimise student engagement.(Keppell, 2010, p. 3; Garrison & Vaughan, 2008).

Forms of Blending
25
Interactive learning (learner-to-content)
Networked learning (learner-to-learner; learner-to-teacher)
Student-generated content (learner-as-designers).
Connected students (knowledge is in the network)
Learning-oriented assessment (assessment-as-learning) (Keppell, 2014).

Distributive Leadership•Characteristics: collaboration, shared purpose, responsibility and recognition of leadership irrespective of role within an organisation.
•Central premise: good leadership is foundational to good learning and teaching practice.
29
Design thinking by its nature is strategic and future focussed.
It is a thoughtful and considered pedagogical approach to ensure relevance for both learners and teachers.

Teacher MindsetsInteractive learning (learner-to-content)
Networked learning (learner-to-learner; learner-to-teacher)
Student-generated content (learner-as-designers).
Connected students (knowledge is in the network)
Learning-oriented assessment (assessment-as-learning) (Keppell, 2014).
32
25
Learner MindsetsDigital literacies (competencies, fluency, design)
Seamless learning (formal, informal, F2F, blended, online, mobile)
Self-regulated learning (scaffolded, strategic, autonomous)
Learning-oriented assessment (authentic, negotiated, self-assessment)
Life-long learning (short-term, future-focussed, being a learner)
Learning pathways (prescribed, electives, open) (Keppell, 2015)
33
Institutional Mindsets•Encouraging teacher and learner mindsets
•Embracing blended learning throughout all learning and teaching and assessment
•Utilising distributive leadership to create strategic change
