Abstract
What lies at the heart of successful, contemporary university teaching? This presentation will consider this question from the perspective of an Australian university that has revolutionised its entire academic delivery model – shifting from the traditional approach of lectures, semesters and exams to a new, immersive teaching model that engages students in up to two concurrent units across 6-week teaching terms. The presentation will provide insight into how this transformation was achieved and the learnings gained. Data from two years of immersive delivery reveal highly significant improvements to academic success for students across study modalities, disciplines, and a diverse range of demographic backgrounds.
