Supporting the academic success of underrecognised higher education students through an immersive block model
Immersive block models are an innovative approach to higher education (HE) that engage students over shorter periods of study than traditional semesters and aim to improve students’ academic success through a more focused and active learning experience. These models may be of particular benefit for HE students from cohorts that are historically underrecognised. We investigate this potential by comparing academic achievement (N = 30,108) outcomes …
Creating the conditions for student success through curriculum reform
Outcomes in higher education (HE) are influenced by the learning conditions created for students. The traditional model of HE, where students attend content-focused lectures over 12–15-week semesters, may not provide the conditions that best meet the learning needs of increasingly diverse HE cohorts. This study assessed the extent to which an immersive block model, a non-traditional form of HE delivery that employs active learning pedagogy and en…
A Review of Digital Humanities Approaches in Shakespeare Studies
Digital Humanities (DH) has transformed Shakespeare studies by integrating computational tools with traditional literary analysis, enabling new insights into textual variants, authorship, networks of characters, and performance dynamics. This review synthesizes key DH methodologies applied to Shakespeare's works, including corpus linguistics, network visualization, authorship attribution via machine learning, and digital editions like the Interne…
Unexpected effects of urban food activism on community and human wellbeing
Participation in urban agriculture conducted through community gardens and allotments is known for its benefits to physical and mental health. Due to the recognition of these benefits, which include reduction of stress, depression and anxiety, such participation is increasingly being prescribed as a non-medical health intervention. Community gardens have the added advantage of immersion into a community, without the often-long waiting lists and l…
Implications of immersive scheduling for student achievement and feedback
Post-pandemic, many universities are seeking ways to better engage students and support them to stay with and succeed in their studies. Immersive scheduling, whereby students complete units over shorter time periods than the traditional 12–15 week semester or trimester, may be a way to do this and improve academic outcomes at scale. This paper focuses on the impact of an immersive scheduling model at a public Australian university where higher ed…
Insurance Issues as Secondary Stressors Following Flooding in Rural Australia—A Mixed Methods Study
Flood events can be dramatic and traumatic. People exposed to floods are liable to suffer from a variety of adverse mental health outcomes. The adverse effects of stressors during the recovery process (secondary stressors) can sometimes be just as severe as the initial trauma. Six months after extensive flooding in rural Australia, a survey of 2530 locals was conducted focusing on their flood experiences and mental health status. This mixed metho…
