Good points. May I add that many of "us" have had shifts in our careers ... this is not an entirely "new" discovery. Also Andrew Norton (2019) reported that more and more people are relying on self-directed informal learning - why we need to encourage life-long learning as well

I know we are all feeling the online only decision, with some essential return to campus learning and teaching, e.g., residential, labs, etc ... Imagine dealing with a more reckless approach, like that facing Harvard and MIT. Thank you Australia. edition.cnn.com/2020/07/08/pol…

How exciting to be back up and running. Well done team USQ!

How the University of Southern Queensland survived COVID-19 thechronicle.com.au/news/how-the-u… Couldn't be more proud of our staff and students at USQ. This has been an unprecedented challenge for us but we are well positioned to face our educational future as outlined by our VC.

To invigilate or not to invigilate, that was the question campusmorningmail.com.au/news/to-invigi… A critical question @michael_sankey and rather than having each institution negotiate accreditation requirements with peak bodies, it is time for clarity and transparency on what is required.

I fully agree. I used to welcome students to our Byron Bay campus (SAE) with this image and promise to never do this to them. C’mon HE, we can do better ...

Once again a great outcome and reflection of the intentional focus and hard work by USQ students and staff and the employers that support and hire our graduates.

A great article explaining why now is NOT the time to cut uni funding for environment courses by ~30%. #Environment #environmentalscience #HigherEducation theconversation.com/devastating-th…

Looking forward to a good discussion with colleagues today about educational futures. In our USQ salon session we will look back on initiatives taken to influence a culture of innovation at one Australian University. Please join us tiny.cc/USQsalon

After four busy and productive years with the University of Southern Queensland, managing the Educational Futures portfolio, I've made the move onto private consulting as reflected in my Twitter handle. So many great digital initiatives & the university is left in great hands!

The question needs to be asked. Watching the Australian Open and it's full of bad-taste advertising from one university that asks students from other universities if they'd prefer their online learning. Is it just me or is this bad taste, and has the sector really come to this?

Very excited to welcome David Maclean, Maclean Education, and a host of other talented international affiliates who extend the services WCWADE & Associates offers our global clients. Need some support with educational transformation? Just reach out. wcwade.com.au

Very proud of my colleague (and boss) @michael_sankey for receiving the ASCILITE Fellowship Award 2021. Congratulations.
