WIL

This pattern can be used to set up and execute an authentic virtual WIL experience with Partner Organisations (POs) within a course.

Industry practice/simulations enable students to adhere to professional conduct standards, develop practical skills and apply theory into practice. This pattern introduces face-to-face industry practice/simulations, professional behaviour development and quizzes to align learning activities and assessments with real world professional conduct and experiences.

The e::Studio extends learning environments to a broader public and professional cohort, allowing connections with, and feedback from, industry, community and remote peer groups. It builds collaborative skills and fosters a flexible approach to urbane design.

An international approach to the threeway communication loop between student, industry and university is key to allowing students to work effectively in global contexts with issues as diverse as cross-cultural understanding, production workflows and online collaboration. This model supports students’ learning for future employment.

Capturing and sharing student videos that reflect on the challenges, skills and processes involved in being on a work placement and working within a profession. 

The process for developing and building relationships between education and industry for the purpose of WIL is becoming increasingly difficult. And with WIL placement becoming increasingly important for developing graduate attributes and employability there is a need to look for other opportunities.

The Visual Merchandising Virtual WIL (VMVW) pattern creates a virtual communication point for the three parties—students, industry and teachers—involved in the VM industry placement program (also known as the mentor program). It will establish an online environment that allows all three parties to interact easily across multiple platforms.

This pattern outlines an approach to work-integrated learning (WIL) which provides the opportunity for students to coordinate a global project across three time zones, mirroring the manner in which global business operates, and thereby providing students with valuable skills and developing graduate attributes.

This pattern outlines an approach to work-integrated learning (WIL) within the ‘Applied Industry Practice’ course of the MBA program, which provides the opportunity for students to gain work-relevant skills such as how to conduct quality applied industry research, while developing relevant ‘soft skills’ such as communication and presentation skills, and how to work collaboratively in teams.

Trades education lends itself to “learning on the job” and the “Flipping the Trades” project focuses on re-designing courses to make them more flexible and allow students to learn and be assessed in their place of work.
