ICALLD Symposia-Over-Time: Evaluating the impact of Tertiary Learning Advice Consultations on student learning and development

(ATLAANZ, New Zealand – June 2021) Learning advisors at Student Learning Te Taiako regularly evaluate our Tertiary Learning Advice Consultations  (TLACs), workshops and programmes, by conducting student surveys and focus groups, together with staff peer-observations and one-minute papers.  In response to recent calls in the literature to go beyond attendance data and perceived student satisfaction to ‘measure’ impact, we have begun using Hamilton et al.’s  (2019) ICALLD evaluation model.

ICALLD Symposia-Over-Time: Capturing academic language and learning structures, contexts and practices

(AALL, Australia – May 2021) Dr Sally Ashton-Hay, Alex Barthel and Dr Amanda Müller spoke about updating the Australian University Register of Academic Language and Learning (ALL) Centres / Units. The aim was to capture the structures in which we work, the contexts in which ALL happens, and the practices that we engage in. The update provided a snapshot in time, revealing a significant increase in Australian tertiary student enrolments in the last ten years, a dramatic reduction in ALL staff employed across the sector, and a proliferation of new services offered particularly online.

Thank you for taking the time to join our LSAC community today. Before we begin, we would like to pause to intentionally express our gratitude for the land we are on today and to all the Indigenous Peoples past, present and future that have and continue to be stewards of these lands. We recognize that moving forward we are mutually responsible for the caretaking and preservation of this land for future generations.

We commit to co-creating an accountable space. In our LSAC community, we are committed to creating an accountable space where we welcome individual growth, learning, and unlearning. In this space, we recognize and gently remind one another that we are all tender humans with our own stories and experiences, both positive and negative. We aim to lead with kindness, openness, and patience as we identify and break down barriers to create a safer space for us all.
