Overview

Working with your peers in a relevant learning community, students will design, present and implement a project plan in their chosen context. Projects can be scholarship-driven, practice-based or investigation-focused. Completion of a scoped project plan will contribute to the development of both career and scholarship of learning and teaching whilst facilitating student learning in the relevant peer network setting. Following the initial presentation of the project idea, students will be allocated into a relevant peer learning network, where they will work together to refine their individual projects using scholarly and reflective approaches. All project plans will align with this unit’s learning outcomes and will be completed within the allowed time frame. Students will receive timely feedback from their peers and convenor/lecturer supporting their assignment work. Sustained peer learning networks co-created during this subject’s duration are designed to continue to support students’ professional and academic endeavours beyond the subject’s completion.
