People/ideas to follow-up on

(just FYI, we have all networked ourselves silly, I just didn't want to ask permission from other people to use a photo in my blog :-) )

• The student self analysis tool, developed by the Swinburne University of Technology.
• The Academic Development Group at RMIT (staff at RMIT are moving from their tumour inducing building – serious! – to brand new premises that have state of the art technology and they have spent the last 6 months encouraging and teaching staff about the possibilities of using this new technology – sounds fantastic).
• Quality improvement of first year assessment: practices and resources, Griffith University. Absolutely brilliant session covering how a former Learning Adviser worked with lecturers to improve their assessment practices. She developed fantastic paper-specific resources for students and also resources for staff to improve their assessment practices. Well worth following up on!
• Foundation paper compulsory at Murdoch University that teaches students writing, study and analytical skills.
