The Change One Thing Award honours the outstanding contributions within the Charles Sturt learning and teaching community. It encourages staff to share and learn from each other’s practical and innovative solutions to educational challenges.

Congratulations to the ten teams that have received a Change One Thing Award.  You can view their winning submissions on the Teaching Academy website. Three submissions have been made for the Regional Universities Network Learning and Teaching Awards, and we wish these teams all the best in the next stage.

We’re thrilled to announce that our Brightspace Help guidance now includes a convenient ‘Print Page’ button! Located at the top right corner of each article, this feature expands all sections and formats the content for easy printing.

Additionally, we’ve introduced a new search function on the home page, making it easier for you to find what you need across our help site.

Charles Sturt staff can now self-enrol in four new GLO short courses through the Brightspace Learning system. The available courses are:

Indigenous Cultural Competency GLO and Pedagogical Framework program

This program introduces the frameworks and processes for mapping and embedding Indigenous Australia Studies content across a course. It provides ideas and support for delivering First Nations content in subjects.

Sustainable Practices GLO

This course will introduce you to the Sustainable Practices GLO and processes for aligning and embedding content across a course or subject. Towards the end of this course, you will be provided with a range of resources that you can adapt, modify, or use to contextualise sustainability into your course or subject.

Global Citizenship GLO

Learn about the Global Citizenship GLO and how to align and embed this content in your courses or subjects. This outcome ensures that Charles Sturt courses prepare students to thrive in a multicultural world and compete successfully in the global market.

Academic Literacy and Numeracy GLO

This course introduces the Academic Literacy and Numeracy GLO and provides guidance on aligning and embedding this content across a course or subject.

Registrations for CSEdX 2023 now open. Visit our website to register.

We are also welcoming abstracts from Charles Sturt University staff that focus on any area of learning and teaching. Abstracts will need to be informed by research and scholarly evidence and speak to the underpinning theme of regionality. Submissions close on Monday 26 August. 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.
