CAP - CASS Innovation in Teaching Showcase - About

We are delighted to welcome you to a joint initiative of the ANU College of Asia and the Pacific and the ANU College of Arts & Social Sciences: the CAP/CASS Innovation in Teaching Showcase, 2018.

The CAP/CASS - Innovation in Teaching Showcase is a collaborative event between both of our Colleges and is a forum for exploration of a variety of academic ideas, stimulating panel discussions and workshops, and a practical showcase of some of the innovative technologies used in both of our Colleges’ course work.

Our Colleges are undertaking this year’s Showcase to highlight the innovative uses of technologies in our teaching, to celebrate the great achievements of 2018 with our language courses which are being taught online, and to facilitate further professional development and discussion in order to benefit the pedagogical practices of our staff, which will, in turn, be of subsequent benefit to our students.

We will be having presentations on such topics as:

• Online Lecturing and Online Language teaching
• Virtual Reality
• Artificial Intelligence
• and demonstrations of a number of different educational software

The School of Music and School of Art and Design presentations will demonstrate the vibrant and stimulating curriculum which is currently being undertaken in these schools, which nurture and develop our talented students to reach their maximum potential. The School of Music will be highlighting the composition and recording opportunities which are now available at ANU.

There will also be a focus on the technologies used in a range of courses, including the Online teaching of Languages from our neighbouring countries in the Asia and Pacific regions. Our Colleges are undertaking a number of projects in Online Language courses, and in 2019 ANU will be launching the first fully Online Language course in Tok Pisin (one of the most widely used languages of the indigenous population of Papua New Guinea).

Thank you for attending this event. We welcome you to the ANU, and trust that you will gain many valuable insights, observations and experiences from your participation in this year’s Showcase.
