Call for Expressions of Interest for The Online Engagement in Higher Education SIG
Expressions of Interest close on Wednesday, 31st August, 2022

Are you interested in heightening student online engagement in higher education and exploring strategies, research and ideas that would help advanced theoretical understandings, considerations and practice application of student engagement?
The HERDSA Executive have confirmed support for a new SIG for Online Engagement in Higher Education.
A HERDSA Special Interest Group (SIG) provides HERDSA members and non-HERDSA individuals with a network of like-minded colleagues with whom you can talk about shared research interests as well as potentially undertake collaborative research. The vision for the SIG is still developing, but the hope is that our collective insights on online engagement in higher education will also contribute to informing our own practice, supporting others with theirs, and strengthening online engagement practices within the HE sector.
While we work towards the development of this new SIG please take time to introduce yourself and share ideas in the Padlet https://universityofsouthernq.padlet.org/alicebrown6/SIG_OnlineEngagemen...
Please share the following information with your colleagues and send your EOI with name, title, role and university to Alice Brown

HERDSA Webinar: Pedagogies of humility, agility and relationality, and a little river magic, to support Indigenous higher education
Thursday 1 September 2022 - 1.00pm to 2.00pm

"You can never bathe in the same river twice” (Heraclitus): Pedagogies of humility, agility and relationality, and a little river magic, to support Indigenous higher education. Presented by Melinda Lewis

The webinar will share some of my more affective experiences of human connection through on campus, on country and online cultural mentoring to support Indigenous Australian cultural competence. I will speak from my reflections on the curious ways of working when on one shoreline I feel deeply drawn towards Indigenous pedagogies and research methods, and in my own doctoral research, whilst on the other I experience intellectual shame risking cultural protocols and insensitivity. Based on my history, identity, and biography I feel I have to flow like a tide, seeking humility and agility whilst building relationality with people, forms of knowledge and their systems, the natural and social worlds, and through insights of my many selves.

I offer an analogy of the river, where sometimes we may feel adrift, lonely, and disconnected, at other times, sublimely in the flow to the touch. Exploring these interplays through grounded practices and protocols aims to invite navigational stories in teaching for learning, and developing sensitivities written into Indigenous scholarship. Built on culturally nuanced relationships, these ways of working can be deep and rewarding.

Advanced Study Institute Online Symposium: Assessment and Feedback Design in Virtual Environments for Future-Ready Graduates
17 & 18 August 2022

More than two years into the Covid-19 pandemic, there have been many significant changes in the higher education sector brought about by stop-start on-campus classes, as well as accelerated technological advancements. It has become obvious that we will move towards wider and more systematic adoption of virtual teaching and learning (VTL). As we embrace VTL, how assessment and feedback design should be modified for quality enhancement? What kind of assessment and feedback practices in virtual environments would get our students more future-ready? This two-day online symposium aims to explore these questions.

National Association of Enabling Educators of Australia Conference 2022
22nd August 2022

It is with great pleasure the Executive Committee of the National Association of Enabling Educators of Australia formally announce that the University of South Australia is hosting our biennial conference in Adelaide on December 5-6 2022.

This years theme is ‘Reimagining enabling in Higher Education’ that aims to capture the tumultuous and ever changing environment of our programs, specifically over the last few years. We hope the conference will offer the opportunity to collectively imagine and cultivate a strong and sustainable vision and plan for our sector.

We are thrilled to have keynote speakers Professor Sam Sellar (Dean of Research, UniSA Education Futures) and Dr Nicole Crawford (Senior Lecturer, University of Tasmania Pre-degree Programs). Highlights of the program include panel provocations with enabling alumni reflecting on how enabling education shaped them as a teacher; and the leaders and friends of enabling sharing their experience, insights and priorities to take us into the next chapter of enabling.

We are also delighted to host a session with members of the executive editorial team of the Access: Critical explorations of Equity in Higher Education Journal.

Journal call - Leading, Facilitating and Convening Educational Social Learning Spaces: Theory and Practice
September 15, 2022

Educators and students are experiencing new perspectives on learning communities, emerging from technological advancements, post-pandemic restructure and relocation of traditional learning contexts, or they may arise from new concepts introduced by Etienne and Beverly Wenger-Trayner (2021, 2020), creating opportunities and challenges around engaging and recreating educational learning spaces. Such spaces include Faculty Learning Communities, Communities of Practice, Twitter groups, and other educational learning spaces. The focus of this special issue of the Journal http://celt.miamioh.edu/ject/index.php is on social learning as a form of engaging with others to make a difference in educational practice. Authors are invited to share the theory that informs their vision of an educational social learning space and the unfolding practice of their learning journeys to create, sustain, evaluate, and revision that space.

Deakin Uni Survey on Artificial Intelligence in professional workplaces
Survey Closes on 18 November

There is considerable hype about the increasing integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into professional workplaces. We are higher education researchers interested in what actually happens in practice. If you work in Australian health or legal or school contexts, we’d like to hear about your experiences – or lack of experience – with AI or AI-mediated technologies. Sharing your experience and/or views will help better understand how new graduates can learn to work in future AI-mediated environments. Deakin invites you to take 15-20 minutes to complete this survey. You can also enter your details separately for a chance to win a pair of Bose noise-cancelling headphones.

Call for Participants: Knowledge Mobilization of Sharing SoTL with students

We are a team of researchers in Canada, US, UK, and Norway who are researching how faculty and staff currently share SoTL with students. We are using Maurer et al.'s (2021) model of knowledge mobilization of SoTL with students (as dissemination, translation, or co-creation) as our framework to investigate practice and explore how this can be extended.

We are inviting you to participate in a 45 minute interview with a member of our research team where you will be asked questions about the various ways in which SoTL can be shared with students, your motivations for doing this, and any barriers that might prevent you (or others) doing so. We are keen to speak with faculty, staff, researchers, teaching assistants who either conduct or use SoTL to inform their work with students.

Should you wish to participate in this study, please fill out the google form here (https://forms.gle/hSwKgvHtdB1QeCLL6) so that we can set up a date and time for an interview with a member of our research team. We are hoping to conduct interviews between August 15 - September 30, 2022.

Thank you for your consideration.

Further information: If you have any further questions about the study, please contact the P.I., Dr. Cherie Woolmer, at cwoolmer@mtroyal.ca
