Resources

With ACODE meetings consisting of a one day workshop as well as a business meeting, a range of resources are produced for each meeting that provide useful references for members.

All workshop papers and other electronic resources are archived in the ACODE Communications Hub on moodle. For ease of access these resources, as well as surveys that members have initiated, are organised chronologically. Please log in to find these resources.

Project Information

To promote best practice, and to support professional development opportunities, ACODE regularly initiates internal and collaborative projects with other national professional bodies.

Members with ideas and suggestions for new projects are encouraged to discuss them directly with members of the ACODE Executive in the first instance. The ACODE Executive will take into account the following issues when considering project funding applications:

  • Relationship to ACODE Strategic Directions
  • Potential to raise the profile of ACODE
  • Potential for collaborative activity with other groups/bodies/agencies
  • National/International significance
  • The research plan associated with it
  • Relevance to members
  • Use and justification of proposed budget
  • Timeframe for proposed project activities
  • Potential uses of proposed project outcomes
  • Sustainability
  • Maintenance issues
  • Relationship to previous work undertaken
  • Availability of key contributors
  • Level of "In kind" contribution - eg software/hardware, office space, communications etc

Please complete the Application for Project Funding and return to the Executive Officer.  A signed hard copy must also be posted to ACODE, c/o The Executive Officer, TLC, University of Canberra, ACT 2601. The application will then be considered by the Executive at its next meeting and the outcome communicated to the Chief Investigator/s. Applications involving multiple ACODE member institutions are particularly encouraged.

From time to time ACODE is also asked to support external projects, such as the AAHESIS project. These are projects where an institution, or consortium of institutions, have applied for funding and wish to include ACODE as a partner or sponsor. Typically, these projects call upon the ACODE network to gather or disseminate information.

The ACODE Executive will use the above criteria to determine the appropriateness of ACODE support of any such projects.

Broadcasting live/recorded lectures
by Rob Phillips.  

A colleague at Murdoch asks:
Has any university been recording lectures at a home campus and then playing them for students during the classtime at a satellite campus? What feedback has been received from staff and students?
Do any universities record at the home campus and then ask students at satellite campus to view the recording plus attend a lecture where they are presented with additional content or activities? If yes, do students feel that they have an increased workload with having to watch the recordings and attend a lecture?

Any relevant information would be appreciated.

Using laptops for exams
by Rob Phillips.  

Hi everyone,

I heard a throwaway comment from someone at ACODE 51 about how students are doing their exams on computers rather than handwriting. There was also the article in last week's Higher Ed Supplement at http://www.theaustralian.com.au/higher-education/laptops-pass-the-big-exam/story-e6frgcjx-1225798847988. It just seems dumb that the only time we require students to use handwriting is for a high-stakes activity such as an exam.

What is the current state of play with regards to doing exams on computers? Are you doing anything at your university?

Cheers
Rob
