Working alongside ‘Students as Partners’, academics at Art & Design have connected with digital media students through professional experience to enhance career transition. Nested within the Teaching International Student (TIS) initiative, International and domestic student experiences alongside personal artmaking styles are valued in the creation of storyboards and digital animations.
We discuss how this collaborative model developed into an ecology where ‘shifts in practice’ are evidenced by students moving from arts focused outcomes to producing ‘Visual Learning Artefacts’ that act as catalysts for conversation in the teaching and learning environment. Visualising difficult issues such as groupwork, inclusion, procrastination, presentation anxiety and the first lecture reimagines how educators see, discuss and enhance learner engagement in their teaching. Underpinned by Kruger’s iceberg theoretical model a range of student narrative animations will be discussed in conversation with the students who created them. Making themes visible ‘below the waterline’ takes a more holistic view of exploring teaching with International students.
This presentation aligns with the following UNSW Communities of Practice 'CELEBS - A support network for evaluation of teaching practices & innovation, ensuring educational excellence, Work Integrated Learning (WIL) @ UNSW.' More information can be found here.
