babyֱ��

We co-create relevant curricula with stakeholders and provide partnership learning experiences because industry tells us that they value graduates who acquire relevant skills and knowledge in authentic learning environments. We make sure that students experience problem and project-based learning, real-world contexts and professional and global experiences to achieve social and economic impact. We are committed to providing opportunities for students to develop global awareness and multi-cultural and Indigenous cultural competencies; to learn and interact with people from diverse backgrounds to better understand and foster acceptance and open-mindedness; and to take advantage of local and global experiences and build diverse networks to prepare for a world of work unconstrained by time, place and culture. 

Digital-first 

babyֱ�� provides technology-rich learning and teaching environments to meet the expectations of contemporary learners and prepare graduates with the digital literacies and confidence to respond to technology requirements and opportunities in their field. We embrace the changes in our external context and recognise that through technology the nature of learning and work have changed. 

We know that students come to babyֱ�� with diverse backgrounds, cultures and full lives. Through digital-first approaches that are also student-centred, we provide our students with flexible learning options, award structures and targeted support that is appropriate to contemporary student lives and personal learning needs. 

Our key approaches include: 

• Canvas: babyֱ��’s flexible and integrated online learning management system and the core to our educational technology ecosystem.

• Digital Literacies program including the : babyֱ�� is Australia’s first and only Adobe Creative Campus, a partnership created to ensure that all students have access to industry-standard Adobe Creative Cloud software and multiple opportunities to develop and practise their digital literacy skills.

• Learning analytics: providing information to our academic staff to enhance and support student learning and learning environments.

High-quality teaching staff 

babyֱ�� supports its teaching staff to enhance the student learning experience through quality teaching based on innovative and authentic pedagogies, informed by best practice and research. Our teaching staff engage reflectively with the critical ideas of learning and teaching and with the broader issues of justice, equity and belonging.  

We acknowledge the diversity of our teachers and are committed to making babyֱ�� a welcoming space for all. 

In keeping with our values, babyֱ�� is committed to employing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander teachers to Indigenise and decolonise pedagogies, curricula and assessments across higher education and vocational education at all levels, from certificates to higher degrees by research. The Moondani Toombadool Centre is responsible for all Indigenous matters at babyֱ��, including learning and teaching, and our Reconciliation Action Plan is a specific commitment to the education and training of Indigenous persons.
