​Our keynote speaker this year was Associate Professor Michael Henderson (Monash) who has recently completed an OLT project on feedback with David Boud. Michael has a lot to say about feedback and you can read a taster of it in an article in the Conversation. He will challenge us to examine our practices in a new light.
