8.8 Resources
What resources have you accessed and found useful? Eg journal articles,
case studies etc
In undertaking this project, a number of resources were useful, and in some
cases essential.
These have been commented on earlier in this report and can be summarised
as follows:
––
A facilitator from the Learning and Teaching unit. This person was
particularly useful in the early stages of framing the project and was
a valuable support throughout the project.
––
Journal articles/working papers, particularly on large class teaching
as well as audience response systems.
––
CES data and additional data provided by the Survey Services Centre.
What external expertise have you enlisted or accessed? How useful and
in what ways has this been beneficial to your ART project?
––
Workshops with external parties, i.e. Carrick Award winner for large class
innovation, Peter Wagstaff from Monash University and Professor Sally Kift
from QUT, a Senior Carrick Fellow whose area of expertise is the first year
experience. These speakers were useful in continuing the discussion
on the challenges of both large classes and transition issues.
What other resources eg people, finance, internal university funding etc have
been available?
Specialist research assistance with analysis and provision of data.
––
Assistance from the College’s ADG in recruiting and running student
focus groups.
––
Funding associated with the project as well as LTIF grant funding for the
audience response system project in Marketing Principles.
Have you developed any resources that may be useful for others to achieve
these outcomes? Describe or list or append.
