2023 Learning and Teaching Conference

Welcome
Professor Elizabeth Molloy, Associate Dean Learning and Teaching, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences

Keynote: Education for Sustainability
A/Prof Forbes McGain, Associate Dean Healthcare Sustainability, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences

2023’s climate extremes are making ever more apparent the interconnectedness of human health and planetary health. Yet as news continues of unprecedented weather events, heatwaves, droughts and other environmental concerns, our Australian health care remains high carbon care. Many of us in health care and health education can also remain unsure of what, if anything, we can do for greater sustainability.

In this keynote, A/Prof Forbes McGain, Associate Dean Healthcare Sustainability, MDHS, will share examples of initiatives within health care and health education that are making real differences right now. Never one for doom and gloom or the too-hard basket, Forbes will invite us all to notice opportunities, to build connections, and to act for a more sustainable future.

Panel: Education for Sustainability
As planetary and human health are increasingly impacted by climate change and broader sustainability issues, recognition is growing of the role healthcare plays as a contributor to these problems as well as to the solutions.

In this panel, we will hear staff and student perspectives on strengthening planetary health and environmental sustainability in teaching and learning. Healthcare professionals not only need to be prepared to address the emerging care burden caused by climate change but also to engage in and lead positive practices that reduce the environmental harm of our professions. Educators of all students preparing for professional practice have a role in supporting this.

Through the panel, we will engage with voices of well-established leaders in education for sustainability, and also voices of emergent journeys – of colleagues and students who have noticed issues, and from this noticing, are now leading new collaborations and actions. The panel will invite reflection on what we may all do in our own contexts, but the visions to be explored will be less about individuals, but of further opportunities to connect, to learn from each other, and to draw upon shared expertise so we can all strengthen our approaches to this planetary scale challenge.

A Conversation with Professor Tina Brock
Main Conference Room, Woodward Conference Centre

We begin our second day of the conference with a conversation with Professor Tina Brock, new Director of the MDHS Collaborative Practice Centre.

A pharmacist by background, Tina is a pioneer of interprofessional education and collaborative practice. Tina calls herself a “global honeybee” who buzzes around the world pollinating projects that improve health care. In addition to studying teamwork, she is a founding member of RxforClimate.org and co-hosts a monthly podcast called Pharmacy Fika. Tina can’t wait for Aust Open tennis to begin and to return to her aerial yoga practice… in Mandarin.

Under Tina’s leadership, the centre will work collaboratively with you and across the Faculty to drive stronger collaborations with patients, families, communities and other health professionals, in and beyond the health ecosystem.

Commencing with a conversation with Professor Liz Molloy, this informal chat will allow you opportunity to start to get to know Tina, her background and her interests in connecting with you for advancing collaborative practice.

Relationships for Collaborative Practice
Main Conference Room, Woodward Conference Centre

The ‘collaborative practice’ in the centre’s name speaks to both the ends of the centre, but also to ways of working. In this session, to be chaired by Professor Tina Brock, we invite a sharing of the ways in which relationships are being developed and ways they are informing exciting developments in health education, leadership, research and care.

Speakers from the Collaborative Practice Committee will offer snapshots and perspectives on how they nurture and privilege the relational aspects of their work. Join them to discuss opportunities for us all to seed, nurture and strengthen relationships for developments in collaborative practice.

Generative AI: Implications for teaching, learning and assessment
Main Conference Room, Woodward Conference Centre

We conclude our 2023 conference with a special plenary session on Generative AI: Implications for teaching, learning and assessment, led by Professor Margaret Bearman and Professor Phillip Dawson, both of the Centre for Research in Assessment and Digital Learning (CRADLE), Deakin University – speaker details below.

In February 2023, Margaret launched a series of TEQSA and CRADLE webinars on Generative AI in higher education by asking ‘ChatGPT: What do we need to know now?’. The series has engaged many thousands in conversations that have foregrounded scholarship, deep practical expertise, and an intrinsically human warmth and intellectual candour. Across and beyond the series, Phill and Margaret have extended discussions on Generative AI in relation to teaching and learning, assessment reform, academic integrity, research and more.

As we approach the one-year anniversary of the launch of ChatGPT, Phill and Margaret look forward to joining you to extend conversations of some of what we have learned so far, and how we may continue to approach education in a time of Generative AI. Speaker details. Margaret's slides; Phill's slides.
