On-Campus Teaching and Learning at Swinburne

Interactions• Interactive learning (learner-to-

content)• Networked learning (learner-to-

learner; learner-to-teacher)• Student-generated content

(learner-as-designers).• Connected students (knowledge is

in the network)• Learning-oriented assessment

Authentic Learning

• …require students to complete complex real-world tasks over a period of time in collaboration with others as they would in a real setting or workplace (Herrington, 2006)

Authentic Assessment

• Empowering the learner by engaging them in assessment tasks that simulate or engage the learner in real-life situations.

• “Engaging and worthy problems or questions of importance, in which students must use knowledge to fashion performances effectively and creatively” (Wiggins, 1993, p.229).

Personalised Learning

• Personalised learners take responsibility for their own learning

• Act on feedback as feed-forward
