Convince more people to run?

Australian Universities are largely in crisis because international student fees were the only way to grow revenue and when faced with a pandemic and a housing crisis, the ability to do that has been severed. The government commissioned a review of the sector that only mentioned ‘learning’ 7 times.

Two reasons (and I’m in Australia for context): very few academics want teaching to be the job, they got there by research and I think most want their jobs to be paid versions of PhD candidature; and accreditation is tied to research output by the government

This means the degree product funds the institution and therefore the focus of effort is on the running of the products.

I sometimes theorise that tertiary level education becoming a prerequisite for much of the workforce has meant that universities have become more accessible to the wider populace but to make that scale, we’ve had to economise higher education into a commodity product.

I’m pretty sure I read somewhere that emergency management vetoed any chance of it being called North Melbourne because the probability of someone meaning the old North Melbourne is too high.

I was unemployed and had the opportunity to work overseas. Car registration was coming up and basically it was cheaper to scrap the car. When I got back a few months later, I didn’t have the income to buy a car and have learned to live without it. Car share was a helpful transition.

Anecdote that when he presented these findings previously, Danny Liu subsequently immediately proved how flawed a lot of the responses were. (Okay, I feel sorry for the academics). #ascilite2024

Survey Q2: Has genAI made you rethink your assessment?

25% no.

Coded from textual responses so not multi-tick but a lot of the yes is going to invigilation. #ascilite2024
