Our presentation will trace the timeline from March 2021 to September 2021 where the academic (Kayleen) started at ground zero learning the Southern Cross Model process. Over 8 months two SC Model units were designed and developed. The academic’s role at the beginning of the process was to provide the content and subject matter expertise. A CTL eLearning Designer (Chris) brought the capability to transform the learning content to digital modules within the Blackboard LMS. We will show that as scaffolding was gradually removed, both academic and learning designer contributed equitably to the design and development of the digital learning content as a team. By the end of the timeline, the academic became an autonomous fully functioning (almost) digital hero.
This presentation will illustrate how we are:
1. Providing active learning experiences for two new core units in the Bachelor of Business Enterprise using the new SC Model.
2. Facilitating learning and teaching interactions through the use of a mixture of learning activities that encourage interaction, self-directed learning, and opportunities for students to self-check and check-in along the way.
This presentation will share both the positive parts of the process and challenges experienced for colleagues to learn from.
