Norman, Timothy David – General Music Today, 2021
iPads are becoming increasingly prevalent in schools and offer significant potential as both a compositional and pedagogical tool in general music classes. In this article, I discuss a composition activity that I implemented with general primary/elementary music classes in Australia. This activity involved using iPads, namely the apps iMovie and…

Thompson, Ian – Australian Senior Mathematics Journal, 2017
In this paper, an example is offered of a problem-solving task for senior secondary school students which was given in the context of a story. As the story unfolds, the task requires progressively more complex forms of linear programming to be applied. Coding in MATLAB is used throughout the task in such a way that it supports the increasing…

Burden, Kevin; Kearney, Matthew – International Journal of Mobile and Blended Learning, 2018
Mobile technologies have been described as 'boundary' objects which enable teachers and learners to transcend many of the barriers such as rigid schedules and spaces which have hitherto characterised traditional forms of education. However, educators need to better understand how to design learning scenarios which genuinely exploit the unique…

Pollard, Andrew – English Teaching Forum, 2015
For many people, mobile phones are a part of modern life. Although the purpose of this technology revolves around language and communication, its application to language learning still appears to be underutilized. This is changing, as the widespread use of this handheld technology offers numerous opportunities to use functions that are ideal for…

Findlay, A. W. – Journal of Tertiary Educational Administration, 1980
The desirability of using computer scheduling to allocate students into the activities (lectures, tutorials, practical classes) for courses requested and the possibility of integrating the scheduling into the enrollment process is explored. Although computer scheduling is now widely used in American universities, at Australian universities the…

Messing, John; Altas, Irfan – Industry and Higher Education, 2006
Incorporating industry training into university courses is not in itself a radically new concept. Many examples in a variety of professions have demonstrated the value of industry input into university curricula. The information technology (IT) profession is different from many others in that it has high volatility and a short shelf-life of…
