Course Learning Outcomes
2.1 COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES
2.1.1. Knowledge and Understanding
2.1.1.1. This course aims to present information on a range of emerging innovations in education, including the issues and implications associated with them. It highlights the theoretical underpinnings of the concept of ‘Innovation’. Within the ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlogn education context, how innovations will impact on the AITSL ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlogn professional standards for teachers will be of central focus. It also aims to familiarise students on the theoretical, pedagogical and research-based evidence for decision making on optimising learning and enhancing teaching.
2.1.1.2. This course aims to develop an increased awareness of the current local and global trends in innovations in education particularly on the findings of research studies on different technological innovations adopted for use in teaching and learning, including assessment. Furthermore, this course seeks to highlight the pertinent nexus between teaching, learning, assessment and research.
2.1.1.3. This course will encourage students to translate theory into practice in one or more issues that they can utilise in their own teaching. A number of emerging innovations, namely cognitive neuroscience, reflective practice, inquiry and problem-based learning, will be examined.
2.1.1.4. This course will contribute to participants’ capacity to examine education-related studies and draw conclusions for everyday practice. In addition, the course will enable participants to integrate research findings from a number of disciplines such as psychology, sociology, measurement, history, and studies of curriculum in various subject areas.
2.1.1.5. Participants in the course will contribute to developing the capacity to write essays on education-related topics, which are both clear and demonstrate a high level of understanding. The course will also contribute to the development of the participants’ capacity to begin the planning of Web design containing information about ‘Future Schools’, and the ability to apply education research in an international context.
2.1.1.6. The course will contribute to students’ capacity to share and collaborate with fellow students, and an awareness and expertise in the collaborative practices of teachers with each other and with the broader educational community.
2.1.2. Communication Skills
The continuing development of good inter-personal and communication skills is widely recognised as important for all graduates.
2.1.2.1. This course specifically seeks to develop students’ abilities to discuss issues in a workshop environment. This allows for group, collaborative and individual responses.

Student Feedback
The ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.
SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness
Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student’s disciplinary procedures.
