Kerry and Sherie cited for outstanding
contributions to student learning
CQUniversity academics Sherie Elliott and Professor Kerry Reid-Searl have each
earned a national ‘Citation for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning’, in
the Australian Office for Learning and Teaching awards for 2012.
They are among only 152 Citation Award winners across Australia.
Gladstone-based Sherie’s award is for providing support,
encouragement, guidance and tailored resources to stimulate
and consolidate learning, thus creating an engaging learning
experience that inspires students to succeed. Sherie supports
students in bridging programs in her role as a lecturer with the
Academic Learning Services Unit.
Rockhampton-based Kerry’s award is for sustained
excellence in the creation of a highly imaginative simulation
teaching technique, using human-like props and aimed at
preparing nursing students for practice. It recognises her
international leadership with the MASK-EDTM and Pup-EdTM
simulation packages. She has previously won the equivalent
award in 2008.
“These Citation Awards re-affirm the crucial role teachers
and staff play delivering quality education and improving the
student learning experience in Australian universities,” Higher
Education Minister Senator Chris Evans said.
“A university education is about more than text books and
exams - these initiatives will improve the overall learning
experience which is necessary for students to participate
successfully in higher education.
Citations for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning
recognise and reward the diverse contributions made by
individuals and teams to the quality of student learning.
Citations are awarded to those who have made a significant
contribution to the quality of student learning in a specific area
of responsibility over a sustained period, whether they are
academic staff, general staff, sessional staff or institutional
associates.
Citations provide an opportunity for distinctive institutional
missions, values and priorities in learning and teaching to be
recognised.

It is intended that recipients, with
the support of their institutions,
will contribute to systemic change
in learning and teaching through
ongoing knowledge sharing
and dissemination, for example,
presentations within the learning
and teaching community, collegial
mentoring, pairing and networking,
and involvement in university and
higher education committees.
