Our approach to contextual implementation planning needs to be based on what we know and have learned throughout Semester 1. The top 5 observations from a cross-university group looking at this were as follows:
- Students need to feel engaged and motivated. We therefore need to:
- Provide a full and inspiring schedule of activities, whether on-campus or online, to incentivise engagement with learning opportunities and to reinforce time-management skills
- Use ‘big challenges’ to create team cohesion – contributing to community, belonging and social learning
- Create a ‘sticky extended campus’ where students want to dwell.
- Students want face to face activities to be purposeful. We need to provide on-campus activities that:
- Use resources not available online.
- Demonstrate applied learning
- We need to focus on student outcomes. This means:
- Engaging with the Course Delivery Principles
- Constant change is hard. This means:
- We need to provide stability where we can
- We need to illustrate the path ahead – create a line of sight between now and the end of a successful academic year.
- Supporting students requires timely use of professional judgement in context to ensure we manage change effectively, this means contextual planning is needed.
