University Assessment, Learning and Teaching: New Research Directions for a Postdigital World
Call for papers closes 23 March

To mark our fifth anniversary, Deakin University’s Centre for Research in Assessment and Digital Learning (CRADLE) is hosting a higher education research conference from 19 to 20 October 2020 in Melbourne. The conference aims to provide a focused forum for higher education research as a discipline. Cutting-edge conversations will centre around rigorous, high-quality conceptual and theoretical contributions exploring the future of higher education research in a postdigital age. Our keynote speakers are Professor Monika Nerland (University of Oslo) and Associate Professor Alyssa Wise (NYU).
We are calling for papers from researchers interested in conceptual, theoretical and empirical explorations of higher education in a postdigital world, aligned with CRADLE’s core themes:
• assessing for learning
• learning in a digital world
• learning through, and for, work.
We are particularly interested in research that advances theoretical, conceptual and methodological understandings. Categories: research papers, symposia, and rapid orals. See https://www.cradleconference2020.org/ for more details.

The visual era and the way we teach in that era survey

Good day all,

I’m hoping you’ll participate in a fairly short research survey (my colleague took 16 minutes to complete it). It has institutional ethical approval and is an extension of earlier work that was nationally-based; now I’d like to see what the wider world thinks. The link is here

https://tinyurl.com/wvdcgac

The subject is the visual era and the way we teach in that era. It acknowledges that our students are embedded in and come to us from the most visual era of human history (Mitchell 2004; Felten 2008; Ingledew 2011); and that all sighted people engage and learn visually through the brain's dual-processing cognitive architecture (Mayer et al 2014; Paivio 2014; MIT 2009).

I’ll be using the anonymised data in peer-reviewed submissions and at conferences.

Thank you very much for reading

David Roberts, SFHEA
