Excellence in online teaching acknowledged

9 November 2005

Three innovative teaching projects developed by Monash staff were recognised at an awards ceremony at Clayton campus last week.

Outstanding work: Professor Willis presents first prize to Mr Williams.

The awards, developed by the HEPCIT (Higher Education Partnerships in Communication and Information Technology) committee, have been designed to reward staff who incorporate innovative and best-practice use of the online medium in their teaching.

Professor Rob Willis, academic director of the Caulfield and Clayton campuses, presented the awards.

First prize went to Mr Brett Williams, from the Centre for Ambulance and Paramedic Studies, who was recognised for his development of online teaching sites based around medical cases for paramedic students.

Two other entries were awarded certificates of commendation.

These went to Ms Lesley Hewitt, from the School of Primary Health Care, for her social work and aged-care site. The other commendation went to a team from the Department of Accounting and Finance and the Educational Design Group, CeLTS, for developing online assessment for Introductory Accounting. The team included Mr Les Hardy, Ms Jodie Maxfield, Ms Robyn Dyt and Dr Robyn Benson.
