Assessing and Enhancing Student Experience in Higher Education
Assessing and Enhancing Student Experience in Higher Education
Graduate attributes for 2020 and beyond
Given global uncertainty related to rapid technological developments and the world of work, alongside other equally (if not more) concerning social and political disruptions – the assurance of graduate attributes of importance to employability and citizenship are arguably more important than ever. In this paper, we investigate three areas of practice by Australian universities, and non-university higher education providers who have been omitted f…
The iPortfolio
An institutional electronic portfolio called the iPortfolio had over 17,000 subscribers one year after its introduction at an Australian university. This paper reports on a study to determine how students use these iPortfolio accounts, and factors leading to uptake and effective use. Self-assessed competence with technology skills, factors motivating uptake, and barriers to adoption were examined using an online survey completed by 554 students. …

This paper reports the development, validation and implementation of a new unit survey instrument which prompts students to reflect on what helps their achievement o…
Australian undergraduates' use and ownership of emerging technologies

This paper reports results from an Australian study of first year undergraduates which confirms these assertions: ownership of laptops, mobile phones and music devices appears to be growing rapidly among this group, along with their …
