Guidelines for Implementing the Learning and Teaching Principles

Feedback from industry placement partners is systematically gathered and used to inform continuous course improvement.

and

modern ways of learning and teaching and the development of 21^st Century graduate skills such as digital literacy.

Learning activities are designed to be inclusive, engaging, challenging and authentic, for example through group projects, site visits, industry competitions and simulations.

Digital learning activities may include recognition mechanisms (such as digital badges) to contribute to student portfolios.

Digital learning is designed to be accessible and inclusive (including use of clear structure, readable formats and accessible documents) and provide students with guidance on academic integrity and the ethical use of digital tools.

Each subject maintains a consistent, student-centred learning management system presence, with clear navigation, current assessment information, weekly topics and timely announcements.

Regular subject review processes ensure the ongoing relevance, currency and authenticity of learning and assessment activities.

Reflective assessments and participation in co-curricular and extra-curricular activities support students to document and reflect on the development of their knowledge, skills and professional capabilities.

Portfolios are designed to be used by students as a showcase for employers, supporting career development, graduate employability and transition into professional roles.

Orientation and early trimester activities acknowledge, value and incorporate students’ diverse cultural, educational and lived experiences. Campus-based activities foster cross-cultural interaction, a sense of belonging and an inclusive learning community.

Learning activities incorporate global perspectives and examples from diverse cultural, national and regional contexts.

Case studies from different cultural context are used to explore contrasting approaches business, leadership and professional practice. Field trips, site visits, speakers and activities familiarise students with local and national environments, ways of thinking and cultural norms.

Guest speakers with international and cross-cultural experience present real-world insights to students.

Structured collaborative activities (such as paired or group discussions) enable students to compare cultural perspectives in a supported and respectful environment.

Role play and simulation activities require students to engage with different cultural, ethical and sustainability perspectives.

Topics are explored through sustainability or ethical perspectives, including consideration of global impacts on industries, communities and business models.

Reflective tasks guide students to identify, describe and evidence the development of their skills.

Real-world simulations and authentic tasks are incorporated across subjects to support Graduate Capability development.

Students engage in structured peer reflection (e.g. paired or small group discussions) to identify connections between current topics and previously learned concepts.

Formative tasks such as quizzes, glossaries or short applied exercises build confidence with discipline specific language and key concepts.

Explicit explanation of content is purposefully balanced with opportunities for students to engage in practice, discussion, and application.

New subjects include facilitator notes to support aligned approaches to engagement and to guide the lecturer-student interaction pattern.

Relevance of knowledge and skills is explained to foster engagement.

Reflective learning activities prompt students to relate key concepts to their work, placement or life experiences where appropriate.

Industry placement and work-integrated learning reflections are structured to explicitly connect classroom theory with workplace practice and professional skill development and experiences.

Learning spaces (physical and digital) are configured to support discussion, teamwork and active participation in class activities.

Learning environments (physical and digital) are designed to be accessible, including reasonable adjustments where required.

Orientation programs introduce support services and guidance for student success.

Online resources are available to support academic skills development and academic integrity.

Excellence among students and staff is recognised through scholarships and awards, with eligibility criteria clearly published and accessible.

Policies are developed and reviewed to align with principles of clarity, transparency and usability and regularly reviewed to ensure accuracy and currency.

Minimum standards for digital delivery are defined and reviewed to support consistent student experience across subjects and modes.

All assessment tasks include clear instructions, standards-based rubrics, and where appropriate, templates or exemplar materials to guide student work, and lecturer feedback.

Students are encouraged to contact lecturers outside of consultation times, where appropriate, via agreed communication channels such as email or the learning management system

Additional academic skills and numeracy support is available through the Student Success Centre to assist students in meeting academic standards and achieving success.
