Researching with Indigenous Peoples
26 August 2020, 4-5 pm Australian Central Standard Time

This webinar will be presented by Mr. Michael Colbung, a Wongatha (Wongi)/Nyoongah man with strong cultural links to the Wirangu and Kookatha nations after living in Ceduna for 30 years. He is a lecturer and Interdisciplinary Researcher with the School of Education, in the Faculty of Arts, University of Adelaide.
In this webinar, Michael will provide you with ways to understand the fundamentals of researching with Indigenous peoples. There is a non-negotiable need to connect to a community of first nations people and build mutual respect before research questions and design should be entertained. Based on connection and respect, reciprocal benefits can flow from a consultative approach to researching with Indigenous peoples on local and broad issues of concern to us. Questions that must be considered by researchers will be addressed, including:
What does Indigenous-led research look like?
Will there be capacity building of Indigenous researchers?

Virtual symposium: Lessons Learned from the COVID-19 Response
September 4, 12:00 - 6:00pm New Zealand time

Registrations are still open for the free virtual symposium on September 4, from 12:00 – 6:00 pm New Zealand time, on Lessons Learned from the COVID-19 Response, hosted jointly by the HERDSA Academic Development SIG and ASCILITE’s TELedvisors SIG. The symposium will be a series of facilitated Zoom meetings with reporting back to the general group to discuss four topics suggested by the community:
1. Supporting academics in the response: Successes and challenges in rapidly moving teaching and learning online
2. From response to business-as-usual in classroom teaching and learning: what do we keep from our teaching during the response and why?
3. Higher education post-covid, what will it look like and how can we support that?
4. What can we learn from others?

Call for chapter proposals for a new peer-reviewed Springer Nature book: Science + SciComm + Work: A Guide for Teaching Science
September 14, 2020

Editors: Professor Susan Rowland and Associate Professor Louise Kuchel (The University of Queensland) seek chapter idea submissions for Science + SciComm + Work: A Guide for Teaching Science Communication, to be published by Springer Nature in 2021.

Aim and scope of the book:
This peer-reviewed book is designed to change the way science students learn how to communicate. It will provide examples of active pedagogies that readers can use to teach important, specific aspects of communication. The book will guide meaningful, workplace-relevant teaching and learning of communication theory and practice within university science curricula. We envision that the book could be used by any teaching faculty member who wants to improve their science students’ and their own communication skills.

Chapters sought:
We currently seek expressions of interest for chapters that explain, in practical terms, how to teach communication in Science coursework. The goal is to produce a set of peer-reviewed “off the shelf” examples of impactful activities that faculty can use, or adapt, when they seek a way to help students learn a particular skill or develop their communication mindset.

Seeking evidence of impact: National Guidelines on Improving Student Outcomes in Online Learning

The National Centre for Student Equity in Higher Education (NCSEHE) is evaluating the impact of Centre-funded research, including projects conducted under the Equity Fellows Program.

Currently, we are seeking information on any changes in online education delivery practice/policy influenced by the development of Dr Cathy Stone's National Guidelines on Improving Student Outcomes in Online Learning and/or the research report which informed these (https://www.ncsehe.edu.au/publications/opportunity-online-learning-impro...).

We would appreciate any information or comments—whether anecdotal or evidence-based—on whether, how, and to what extent the research findings and/or the Guidelines themselves have impacted upon online education within Australian institutions.

We look forward to tracking the broad impacts of this seminal work and thank you for your involvement in this endeavour.

Please submit any relevant information to ncsehe@curtin.edu.au.

Attitudes to the use of idioms in English language academic publications

Chief investigator: Dr Julia Miller
Email: julia.miller@adelaide.edu.au
HREC approval number: HREC-2020-115
This research project is about the use of idioms in English academic writing by academics who use English as an additional language or dialect (EALD). If you are an EALD academic who publishes scholarly work in English, you are invited to participate in a 15 minute questionnaire (https://artsadelaide.syd1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8oIqimk6bdfgyjP). At the end of the questionnaire there is an invitation to participate in an optional online interview. Thank you to those who have already responded.
