After the very successful sessions from John Traxler on mobile learning, HERGA is wrapping up July with a presentation from Associate Professor Theda Thomas from ACU. She will be discussing ideas on how to engage first year students in their discipline. This is work based on her successful OLT application "In the Beginning: Renewing the First Year Curriculum for Social Sciences and Humanities in the context of discipline threshold standards" and looks to be very interesting. 

This workshop will allow participants to think about the learning of first year students in their particular discipline. It will provide lecturers with ideas for engaging with first year pedagogy and ask you to consider what we want our students to know by the time they graduate and what skills need to be developed.

Please come along and hear her discuss her work on the 17th July in the Board Room, Level 2, Adelaide College of the Arts, Light Square, Adelaide. See the attachment for further details.
