The educational inequity that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have experienced in higher education in Australia is replicated in virtual learning spaces, with generic models of online learning design taking little account of cultural factors that impact on learning. To counter this, new approaches to online learning design are needed that consider the experiences of Indigenous people. This article explores culture as a critical element of online learning design that enhances the learning experiences and outcomes of Indigenous people. The study reported in this article was conducted at a regional Australian university and was methodologically situated within an educational design research framework. Data were collected through the narrative method of yarning with 19 Indigenous students enrolled in a range of disciplines. From the data, 10 themes were developed, which guided the design of a learning design model and six preliminary design principles. The study contributes to the gap in the literature on learning design for Indigenous online higher education students. As the model and preliminary design principles are culturally situated at the site of the study, they need testing by educational designers and academics to ascertain their usefulness in other contexts.

Pre-pandemic, there was already widespread acknowledgement that the traditional higher education business model is seriously challenged. Fall 2020 marks a clear inflection point as students, educators, and government leaders alike scrutinize the price and value proposition of higher education through the new lens of traditional classroom versus multiple modes of digital delivery. What’s more, machine learning, SMS messaging, and AI are having a growing impact in optimizing student services and support. These technological developments make it imperative for college leaders and the policymakers who govern them to make digital transformation and technology a much more central strategic priority, especially when it comes to their core businesses: learning and credentialing. This school year marks a major inflection point for America’s colleges and universities. Which institutions will seize the moment to transform, and which ones will be left behind?

“Digital academies” are among the most successful approaches to closing the digital skills gap. These initiatives are specific to the company’s culture and narrative, are highly experiential and considerate of organizational team dynamics, and reach across the enterprise. Using DuPont’s digital academy as a model, companies should design their own internal upskilling programs to serve broad employee segments, include experiential elements, encourage continuous engagement, and prioritize flexibility.

This paper describes a framework for teacher knowledge for technology integration called technological pedagogical content knowledge (originally TPCK, now known as TPACK, or technology, pedagogy, and content knowledge). This framework builds on Lee Shulman’s construct of pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) to include technology knowledge. The development of TPACK by teachers is critical to effective teaching with technology.

Universities across Australasia regularly evaluate their Learning Management Systems (LMS) to meet the increasing digital teaching and learning demands. LMS reviews conducted approximately every five years or so are driven by factors such as pandemics, contract renewals, fiscal considerations, and the pursuit of optimal student online learning experiences. Recent trends show that Australian universities are conducting LMS reviews more frequently and transitioning to new LMSs at an accelerated pace (Phil, 2022; Sankey, 2023a). This is to ensure the LMS of choice meets the Next Generation Digital Learning Environment (NGDLE) functionality (Educause, 2018), is affordable, reliable and is still fit for purpose. While ongoing LMS reviews are common, there is a lack of published information on how higher education institutions undertake them. There was little available to unpack how best to engage in open, transparent, and aspirational conversation with staff and students about their experience with the LMS. As part of the review, even less was published about the dialogue on the future teaching and learning needs and the future of the LMS. To help address this gap in the literature, this practice-based paper reports on our approach and the steps taken to propose a unique two-phase / multi-stage model for reviewing an LMS and offers a useful checklist for those who may want some help getting started.

I found this quote frightening! No evidence offered. "A class isn’t just the fact of meeting at a given time, or a teacher imparting information during that meeting, or students’ to receiving and processing such information. A university classroom offers a destination for students on campus, providing an excuse to traverse the quads, backpack on one’s shoulders, realizing a certain image of college life. Once there, the classroom does real work, too. It bounds the space and attention of learning, it creates camaraderie, and it presents opportunities for discourse, flirtation, boredom, and all the other trappings of collegiate fulfillment. Take away the classroom, and what’s left? Often, a limp rehearsal of the act of learning, carried out by awkward or unwilling actors."

If the pandemic gave rise to hygiene theater, it also brought us this: pedagogy theater.
