Dear Colleagues

The University of South Australia, the University of Adelaide, Australian National University, Queensland University of Technology and CQUniversity are undertaking a research project focusing on the inclusive design of technology enhanced learning, which is funded by the Australian Government Office for Learning and Teaching. The project is developing an evidence-based approach to the design and redevelopment of inclusive courses using established evidence-based research methodologies. The deliverables will include a fully developed framework for curriculum renewal designed to support an inclusive and personalised approach to online teaching and learning across a range of disciplinary fields, an open source responsive learning system (RLS) that can personalise the learning experience for students with diverse accessibility needs and learning preferences, and pedagogical guidelines on the use of the framework and supporting RLS for curriculum renewal.

The project team is launching a series of webinars on Monday 20th July via Blackboard Collaborate. All interested are invited to participate in the webinars. Further information about the project and the details of forthcoming webinars are available from http://responsive-learning.org/events.php  

The first webinar will be conducted by Professor Denise Wood (CQUniversity and adjunct UniSA) and Dr Sheila Scutter (UniSA) on the 20th July at 2:00 pm Adelaide time. In the first session Denise and Sheila will introduce the project, the methodology and interim findings based on case studies which will be elaborated on in subsequent webinars. The webinar will go for an hour and will commence at 2:00 pm South Australia time (2:30 pm EST). To join the session please go to https://au-sas.bbcollab.com/m.jnlp?sid 11635&password=M.57761BB2427A59D096374477193492 prior to the start of the session to ensure you can connect and that your headphones and mic are working.

Webinars will be recorded and available via the project site for those unable to attend the webinars in real time.

Reminders will be sent out a week behind subsequent webinars in the series.
