Inducting new academic staff into a flexible education environment

Abstract

The Faculty of Engineering and Surveying at the University of Southern Queensland has developed and facilitated a two-day Teaching and Learning Workshop for inducting new academic staff. This paper explores the reasons for this initiative and then describes the three Workshops that have been held to date. The extremely positive response from the participants in the first two Workshops led the University to sponsor the third Workshop and request the Faculty to open it to new academic staff from across the University.
