2024 Call for Abstracts!

Submit an abstract here!

We welcome abstracts from Charles Sturt University staff that focus on any area of learning and teaching (including but not limited to curriculum design, development and delivery, assessment and feedback, work-integrated learning and supervision, academic integrity, staff development, student engagement, retention and success, educational leadership, and Higher Degree Research supervision practices etc). Abstracts will need to be informed by research and scholarly evidence and speak to the underpinning theme of regionality.

This year, we will be inviting abstracts for two categories:

  • Oral presentations – these are short presentations of work underway or completed.
  • Roundtables – these are longer sessions that provide an opportunity for critical dialogue.

Oral presentations are short presentations about work that is underway or completed. Presentations are for 10 minutes, with time for questions and discussion at the end of the session.

Roundtables are longer sessions that provide an opportunity for 30 minutes of critical dialogue on a particular ‘hot’ topic. The presenter/s will introduce the topic or provocation in five minutes, followed by twenty minutes for discussion around guiding questions, and 5 minutes for summing up.

To find our more including what you need to submit, please read the 2024 CSEdX Guidelines.

Submissions close on Monday 26 August.

WHAT IS CSEdX?

CSEdX is a key professional learning event for all those involved in learning and teaching at Charles Sturt University. It celebrates best practices in learning and teaching and explores how we deliver value for our communities, our students, and our staff.

The inspiration for this year’s CSEdX theme is the Charles Sturt University Education Strategy Vision 2030, which seeks to “radically reimagine the way we deliver learning and teaching to address the needs of modern regional Australia” and “being proud of our regional identity, serving our communities through developing a regional workforce and being committed to equity and access for all.” (Charles Sturt University Education Strategy Vision 2030. Charles Sturt University, Nov 2023). The themes of excellence in learning, teaching and the student experience, along with increasing equity in participation, access and opportunity, are also key components of the Australian Universities Accord (Australian Universities Accord Final Report. Australian Universities Accord Review Panel, Feb 2024).

WHO IS CSEdX FOR?

CSEdX is for anyone involved in higher education learning and teaching.

In 2024, we are thrilled to extend attendance to the Regional University Network, fostering growth and knowledge sharing within our network.

Developing Digital Literacy and Critical Thinking Skills in a Hybrid World 2023

Our CSEdX Conference was held from 14 to 16 November 2023.

The Charles Sturt EdX conference provides a forum for all Charles Sturt staff to engage in scholarly activity and share best practices that will positively impact our students' learning and teaching experience.

In 2023, the Teaching Academy led the development and engagement of the Charles Sturt EdX conference, ensuring key themes and workshops are determined by our staff and aligned with our strategic direction. As a result, this year’s program will have a new look and feel! We met over three half days to ensure that as many staff as possible can attend the conference.

Our 2023 theme

Developing Digital Literacy and Critical Thinking Skills in a Hybrid World

Our 2023 theme reflects the impact of generative artificial intelligence (AI) on higher education as it advances rapidly, forcing us to consider how we address its risks, impacts, and opportunities.  Generative AI promises to change our lives now and into the future.  We need to leverage and elevate our learning and teaching in our post-COVID hybrid teaching environment to lead online education.

Within this broader theme, our presentations will address the themes of ‘teaching students to identify and evaluate online resources as responsible digital citizens’ and ‘facilitating meaningful learning experiences in a hybrid environment’ and showcase practices related to ‘authentic assessment, a focus on pedagogy, innovative learning and teaching approaches, scaffolding critical thinking, and work-integrated learning’.
