Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) Summit 2007
The Melbourne Curriculum 2008: Renewing Teaching and Learning
Wednesday 26 September 2007, 9.00am-2pm, ICT Theatre 1, Ground Floor, ICT Building at 111 Barry St
With the launch of the Melbourne Model, the University of Melbourne has committed to a bold, innovative, new curriculum in which the New Generation degrees incorporate multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary studies. The Melbourne Model has provided the impetus for rethinking and renewing our approaches to teaching and learning, raising pedagogical and related challenges.
The DVC (A) Summit provided a chance for a 'stocktake' on our progress and an opportunity to explore the possibilities and issues associated with teaching and learning in the Melbourne Model.
The Summit program featured interactive workshops with opportunities for discussion alongside a showcase of the new ideas permeating the new curricula.
The Summit is a joint initiative of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) and the Centre for the Study of Higher Education.
This year more than 200 staff and students of the University took part in lively discussion about interdisciplinarity and the myriad of initiatives in progress across the University.
