Samantha Hall – Founder Campus Intuition & Spaces Alive

How do you maintain student experience in a hybrid world?

This talk will cover various topics to consider in the design of the future campus, including:

  • The concept of hybrid learning and how this is playing out in institutions
  • The challenge for Australian commuter campuses vs those with high residential stock
  • The growth of staff WFH flexibility and impacts to student interaction
  • What else should be happening on campus to attract or retain students?
  • The increasing demand for informal co-working study space for watching content
  • The varied needs of UG, PGCW and HDRs

 

Michaela Sheahan - Senior Researcher, Hassell

Engagement or Extinction? A thriving campus workplace

Universities are changing, whether academics and professional staff like it or not. Online learning has upended scheduling, pedagogies and the student/teacher relationship. Partnerships with industry are transforming the nature of research, as well as the mobility and tenure of academics. The quiet, introspective exploration of ideas is still relevant, needed in fact, but is now expected to co-exist with an external focus on industry engagement and research agility.

All this and more was already happening slowly, until 2020. Now, universities must urgently address the demoralising effect of diminished campus activity that could, if not checked, hollow out the previously rich, diverse and stimulating workplace experiences of academia.

This session, based on recent Hassell research on Australian and international university workplaces, explores how and why campuses need to become more social, more networked, and more collaborative than they ever were before.

  • Academics’ expectations for their future workplace, and the diabolical challenge of space utilisation
  • The value of bringing industry partners onto campus
  • Learning from the transformation of the student experience over the last decade
