Descriptions

Research-teaching nexus: Translating research in teaching & learning to scholarly output
Monday 12-1pm, CA-05.2.04 Conf. 7&8

Dr Yenna Salamonson

Likert scales in evaluation - why it's usually wrong.
Wednesday 12-1pm, CA-05.2.04 Conf. 7&8
Likert scales are widely used in evaluation. Frequently the data are analysed as if the scores were interval or ratio when in fact they are ordinal. The use of means, t-tests etc is inappropriate. This presentation will review the dangers of incorrect analysis and explore options for effective analysis of data.
Professor Ian Wilson

vUWS: Where’s the Library?
Thursday 1-2pm, CA-04.15 (LT01)
In contemporary universities, the institutional learning management system is increasingly central to a student's learning experience. In the past, students would physically come to the Library - now increasingly the Library’s virtual resources and services will come to them. If UWS students are to graduate conversant with the literature of their discipline, and equipped with lifelong learning skills it is imperative that library resources are strategically integrated into vUWS sites. How can this be achieved in the current UWS environment?
Ms Liz Curach and Mrs Meg Boness
