1:30 pm - 3:00 pm - LX.lab CB06.04.020
Our 2017 Learner Experience (LX) Grant recipients have now successfully implemented a new learning experience in the classroom. Join us in the LX.lab and hear from your UTS academic colleagues.
Session 1: 1:30 – 1:50pm
Reflective Learning on Performing Cell Culture
My project teach masters/ undergraduate student how to be confident and improve their skills in performing cell culturing technique which is fundamental and yet crucial for any cell biologist.
Presenters: Joshua Chou
Session 2: 1:55 – 2:15pm
An active and self-direct research approach to learning
A learning gap was identified in the simulated work practice space. The new resources enable students to develop their abilities to engage in more active and self-directed research and learning, improve their communication skills and enable students to experience and demonstrate concepts in the course. The approach further develops students’ skills to apply the knowledge/content covered by the course on a weekly basis through the application of problem solving skills to potential real-world scenarios, using logic and deductive reasoning to form arguments and professional opinions to solve problems
Presenters: Margaret Durham
Session 3: 2:20 – 2:40pm
The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park board game
The project created a board game in which students work in groups to play the role of competing stakeholder groups in the management of marine resources. Specifically, students take on the role of mining, shipping, fishing & farming and marine park management interests in the management of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.
Presenters: Leigh Martin, Carla Sbrocchi and Alex Thomson
Session 4: 2:45 – 3:05pm
Perspective Relay: Exploring a single street through multiple lenses
This presentation discusses the design, delivery and evaluation of a collaborative learning experience called the Perspectives Relay. In this activity student teams are invited to “relay” up and down a single stretch of the city using different disciplinary and professional lenses to explore the ways in which a single area can be understood in multiple ways. In particular, we will emphasise elements that were effective in rapidly immersing students in approaching small provocations beyond the familiarity of their specific disciplinary background, building towards establishing observational and analytical skills as transdisciplinary practitioners.
Presenters: Susanne Pratt, Jacqueline Melvold, Barbara Doran and Tyler Key
