“A Walk in Our Shoe”: Student engagement via Creative and Collaborative Learning practice: Designing Game with Narrative Experience – Li Jin, FST; Emma Dodson, WSMAD

Learning occurs most effectively within a social and practice-focused context in which the construction of knowledge and understanding is facilitated through active participation in learning communities based on open collaboration and communication. Our interdisciplinary pedagogical learning practice facilitates students at UOW to develop their abilities of the combination of grasping experience and transforming knowledge and further shape them as a new era of learners, appreciating the need for interdisciplinary approaches in understanding creative learning technology.

The LAW of Unintended Consequences: Between Disruptive Technologies and Enhanced Learning – Aurora Voiculescu, SSH.

While emerging technologies are often presented as a way of providing scope for real-time engagement and fast student reactions, this presentation will focus on the way in which technology can also be used to provide an additional pause for thought, with sometimes surprising results. While the reflection is facilitated by the current literature in the field (Levy, 2015; Caron and Gely 2004; Koo 2007; Caron 2006), it is more importantly rooted in three years of empirical observations of using the Panopto application for undergraduate coursework assessment within the School of Law.
