Examining Victoria University’s Block Model: with Professor Ian Solomonides | 17 April

Victoria University has set out on an ambitious agenda to implement a ‘block’ model of learning that directly challenges the underlying pedagogic assumptions, processes, and operations of university teaching. The primacy of the traditional semester and unit organisation of Australian higher education is rarely questioned. But is this system fit for purpose as we move from outmoded and transmissive forms of education to the more future-focused, collaborative, and co-created? 

Speaking with the experience of leading transformation, Ian Solomonides will describe the emergence of the VU Block Model and the management of change associated with its implementation; change that has inevitably reconsidered what is means to be a stakeholder or enabler of university education in the in the twenty-first century.
