Overview

This project is a collaboration between four IRUA universities - Macquarie University, Murdoch University, Flinders University and the University of Newcastle.

The project was conducted between August 2006 and March 2008.

Rationale

The impetus for the project arose from a need to develop an understanding of the implications of the use of web-based lecture technologies such as iLecture for the design and delivery of curricula, good teaching and high quality learning in higher education.

Aim

The aim of project was to investigate how web-based lecture technologies - (iLecture /Lectopia and similar technologies) can be used to best effect to support learning and teaching. Specifically:  

1. how the technology is integrated into the curriculum, its role and relationship with other elements within the curriculum
2. how the technology can effectively support learning and teaching in different contexts, taking into account disciplinary differences, student diversity, specific teaching aims and learning outcomes.
3. the educational implications of its use for:

• the design and delivery of curricula
• academics and their teaching
• students, their learning and the establishment of effective learning environments
• professional development of academic staff
• academic policies and practices
