At the event attendees heard directly from university leaders, and more importantly, had an opportunity to contribute to the development of the strategy's direction through structured discussion of important learning and teaching topics.
The main session was held at the North Terrace Campus - and was live streamed at both the Waite and Roseworthy campuses.
A series of structured discussions were then held across all three locations.

Our Brave New World of Education
Professor Suzanne Le Mire, Pro Vice-Chancellor Student Learning
The Global Pandemic highlighted our ability to work collegially and under time pressure to innovate and adapt to ensure our students would flourish, notwithstanding strange and difficult times. We now have a chance to build on that momentum, tap into our strong sense of values and mission, and chart our path to a bold learning and teaching proposition for our expanded group of learners. This session will explore the transformation opportunities proposed in the draft Education in a Digital World strategy.
