#PSTChat: Learning Analytics and Learning Design
TER Podcast: Citizenship Education!
Critical Thinking and Citizenship
I’ve started seeing an uptick in interest in civics and citizenship education. In Australia, this is perhaps not surprising – after all, the most recent NAP-CC data suggests that there has been little improvement from the poor levels of civic literacy reported in previous iterations, and the iterations before them. In fact, civic literacy appears…
Learn2Analyse
I recently completed the Learn2Analyse microcredential offered via an Erasmus grant and a few European university partners. Suffice to say that I thought it was excellent. It was also very lengthy – approximately 100 hours or so, which I think is roughly equivalent to a 4 credit point microcredential. I found the system they used…
Getting started with XR (for teachers)
In one of the subjects that I teach, we talk about current and future trends in education, and especially as they relate to learning design. One of the topics that we spend a bit of time exploring is Extended Reality, which is the catch all term that I use to encapsulate Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality…
Educating for Civic Reasoning and Discourse

Naturally, it falls within my areas of interest, although the phrasing of civic reasoning and discourse, as opposed to something like active citizenship education, is a term that I don’t personally use, for…
Face to face again
So I recently attended the launch of a part of UTS’s RESHUB program, which is all about encouraging research excellence and providing support. It was a great event – the focus of this particular one was all about creativity and how that might find expression in research – and there was a focus on art…
Feedback and Feedforward
Learning Design: Feedback and Feedforward I’ve been teaching a class about Assessment and Evaluation as part of the Graduate Certificate in Learning Design at the moment. It’s the first time I’ve taught the subject since I designed it, and 4 weeks in, I’m reasonably pleased with how it’s going. We recently did a session all…
Supervising HDR Students
This year I’ve been supervising a Higher Degree by Research (HDR) student for the first time. This feels a bit strange, considering that I’m only a few years out of completing my own PhD, but I imagine that’s common for students. And, of course, at least I have the benefit of drawing on my own…
