It is with great pleasure that the Centre’s Neuroscience and Education SIG is able to announce a successful 2018 Strategic Education Grant application.  The grant of $12,000 will support a project Investigating the social and neurobiological comodulators of learning and wellbeing. The Project Leader is Dr. Minkang Kim, with co-investigators Professor Ian Hickie and Professor Adam Guastella of the Brain and Mind Centre and Professor Philip Poronnik of the Sydney Medical School.

This exploratory review brings together research that investigates computer-assisted language learning (CALL), and research in the field of learning design, paying particular attention to the theoretical frameworks and approaches of design for learning.

CRLI would like to commend Professor Judith Kay and Professor Philip Poronnik on being honoured with a Payne-Scott Professorial Distinction for their contributions to the University across all areas of leadership, teaching and research. The inaugural Payne-Scott Professorial Distinctions are a key component of the University's 2016-20 Strategic Plan and Culture strategy.

I always want my students to share their ideas with others. But it is not realistic to expect students to read writings written by peers when they don’t even have time to finish the course readings you assigned, our students are too busy to read.
