On-line Professional Education For Australian Research-Intensive Universities in the Asian Century
"On-line Professional Education For Australian Research-Intensive Universities in the Asian Century" is an early version of work for the ANU Graduate Certificate In Higher Education.
The aim is to allow higher degree students to obtain skills
certificates, by completing a template in their e-portfolio, alongside
their coursework and research. This will allow universities to meet
skills and quality standards and offer e-learning as an option, while
retaining traditional courses and flexible research degrees. I would
welcome comments.
As an example I what I have
in mind, it happens I have been asked if I can do some vocational
teaching at an RTO. This requires a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment. I should be able to meet much of the requirements for the
certificate by Recognition of Prior Learning, based on my studies for
the Graduate Certificate in Higher Education. This requires filling in a
form from a RTO, attaching evidence of skills and experience and having
this assessed. That process would have been much easier, if I had the
form at the start of my Graduate Certificate and I could have filled it
in with evidence as I went along.
PS: As the Prime Minister recently released the Australia in the Asian Century White Paper and I am just on my way back from talking on online education in Indonesia, I appended “Asian Century” to the previous title of the paper. ;-)
