Assessment for distinctiveness: Recognising diversity of accomplishments
Universities have responded to the expansion of higher education and restructuring of the labour market by redesigning curriculum to better emphasise transferable skills and embed pedagogies that contribute to graduate employability. However, the ways in which universities judge and share achievement still provides poor evidence of what students can do or the skills and personal attributes that inform job recruitment decisions. Furthermore, asses…
Aligning assessment with the needs of work-integrated learning: The challenges of authentic assessment in a complex context
Work-integrated learning (WIL) is a feature of university courses, both in professional areas, where it is commonplace, but also across many different disciplines. Assessment of WIL can be complex as it involves parties and settings external to the university, and it can be problematic because of difficulties in aligning learning activities during placements with what is or can be assessed by the university. This paper explores the relationship b…
Implementing and investigating distributed leadership in a national university network - SaMnet
The literature suggests that collaborative approaches to leadership, such as distributed leadership, are essential for supporting educational innovators in leading change in teaching in universities. This paper briefly describes the array of activities, processes and resources to support distributed leadership in the implementation of a network, the Science and Mathematics Network of Australian University Educators – SaMnet. The research study in…
A Stylometric Foray into the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879
The most celebrated feat of arms during the reign of Queen Victoria was arguably the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879 and, in particular, the heroic defence of the mission station at Rorke's Drift. The senior officer, Lieutenant John Chard, was asked to write a report of the battle in its immediate aftermath which he duly submitted, yet suspicions have arisen concerning the true authorship of this “official” report, which deflects the blame for the horrify…
From Financial Literacy to Financial Capability Among Youth
Youth in the United States are facing an increasingly complex and perilous financial world. Economically disadvantaged youth, in particular, lack financial knowledge and access to mainstream financial institutions. Despite growing interest in youth financial literacy, we have not seen comparable efforts to improve access to financial policies and services, especially among disadvantaged youth. Instead of aiming for financial literacy, an approach…
Home‐start and the delivery of family support
The publication of Child Protection: Messages from Research (Department of Health, 1995) and of the ‘Supporting Families’ Green Paper (Home Office, 1998) have both highlighted the importance of developing family support services, in keeping with the word and the spirit of the Children Act, 1989. This article presents some of the findings of a three year study of a voluntary organisation, Home‐Start, which offers support to mothers with children u…

In Whose Service? Technology, Care and Disabled People: The case for a disability politics perspective
This paper discusses the introduction of telematics technologies, which are advancing rapidly in Britain and throughout the world, and which impact increasingly on the lives of disabled people. The authors argue that, to date, technology-based services have been largely, if not exclusively, determined by the interests of care service professionals, technologists and the commercial sector. Missing from the debate has been the perspective of the di…

Finding a Way: An Aboriginal Research Project
At the Australian Archaeological Association conference held at Valla in 1980, one of the authors (JD) presented an audio-visual comment on Aboriginal involvement in anthropological/archaeological research. It was in the form of a scripted slide sequence entitled 'Finding a way: an Aboriginal research project'. This paper gives the background to the production of the audio-visual presentation and briefly explains the aims of the project which pro…
